How to get .exe on usb device to run automatically?

I have a surfeasy usb device, that has an .exe that appears under the cd drive. I want to get it to run automatically when I plug it in. What it does now is it automatically opens a folder on the usb drive. Also a box pops up on the top of my screen asking what I want to do with it when I plug it in, but I have about a second to click on it before it goes away. I'm running windows 8.1

    As far as I know, there is no autorun functionality for removable drives in Windows versions newer than XP.
