Thanks for the Autoruns tip. I guess it is possible the Sansa Clip Zip has installed something - can USB devices do this? Windows did the usual "Installing new hardware" when the Sansa Clip Zip was first connected via USB. It behaves just like a standard external drive (two in fact - one for the internal memory of the device and one for the additional MicroSD card). The only slight oddity I find is that when you connect the device, it automatically opens an Explorer window (one for each internal and MicroSD card) showing the device contents. Normal USB storage devices don't appear to do this?

@w3d, if you have Autoplay enabled, then yes, a USB device could automatically run a program. It is usually advised to disabled Autoplay, even if you don’t plug in random drive you find on the street.
