My guess is this, during auto-run:
1) LaunchPad.zip is copied by Windows to
"C:\documents and settings\sherry\application data\
number>"
2) "LaunchU3.exe -a" is launched and it looks into the directory
for LaunchPad.zip, unzip it and continue execution
You can prove this on a "working" notebook by doing a search
of the zip file in C:\documents and settings\ for all hidden and
system files. You might find LaunchPad.zip there. I also think
the is generated by Windows during
runtime and it could be different each time. If that's true, you
might never be able to run it manually.
