USB Flash Drive behavior on different computers

I have two computers, both with Windows XP SP-3. On one computer, when I plug
in the device to a USB port, the OS chimes and nothing else happens. I am
able to immediately open My Computer, open the Removeable Device and go on
about my business. On the other computer, when I plug in the same device, the
OS chimes and then the computer is locked up for about 1-2 minutes, after
which the device is opened in Windows Explorer. I much prefer the first
behavior. Can anyone tell me what is causing this difference in behavior?
