creating autorun file question

I am trying to make a flash drive both display a custom icon, and start playing a playlist in windows media player, but I am running into a problem.

The autorun.inf looks like this:
open=PlayIt.bat
icon=autorun.ico

Playit.bat looks like this:
@echo off
start play.m3u
cls

When I put the drive in, instead of playing the playlist, I get the popup "This disk or device contains more than one type of content"...

How do I make it just immediately start playing the playlist?

linky no work...

But I can't do that. I am giving a the pen drive as a gift (part of a valentines day package actually). I want her to be able to just pop the thumb drive in and have it start playing automatically. Need a solution that wont depend on the computer setup of the other person. (Her computer is windows XP though if that makes a difference)

Is there another way besides an autorun file to do this?

Windows doesn't allow you to autorun USB drives when they're inserted. The Windows Autorun capabilities are restricted to CD-ROM drives and fixed disk drives.
