Not quite, In Windows XP SP2 the system can read the autorun.inf  in
removeable media (specifically USB Flash Drives) and start a program or
install etc like a CD rom does.

However I haven't seen it work.

Subject: [Full-disclosure] USB Auto run function


I have been interested in a potential exploit that may or may not be an
issue, I read lately that a potential malicious file could enter a system
via a USB Memory stick with a structured autorun.pif , and this file would
operate even if the screen lock is activated .
