Wrong. But thanks for playing.
A much more eloquent solution is this:
Make a shortcut for Quintessential.and stick it in the 'send to'
folder and you
can then select it from the right click menu OR
You can assign XP to open or run programs based on your choice in the
new
AutoPlay tab in drive properties. But there isn't an easy way to add
or change
your choices -- enter XP PowerToys.

STEPS
1.. Download Microsoft's PowerToys for XP and install.
2.. Run TweakUI. Choose My Computer from the list.
3.. Click the + on AutoPlay, then select Handlers.

at will.
For example, you may want to run a CD player you purchased when you
insert a
music disk.
When finished, close TweakUI, right click on your drive, click on the
AutoPlay
tab and you will see your entry.
