Its not Windows or the Kindle itself thats preventing you from doing it. Neither of them have anything built into them that would affect this. The Kindle itself can't access the storage area when you've got it plugged into a PC. Thats why it does the USB Drive Mode.
You got AV software or something else running that is affecting this?
Even if you do get your autorun.inf file on there and remove the patch that disabled it, the backup won't be automatic. Windows only ran autorun items off optical drives without prompting. Everything else brings up a prompt. They've altered it now so that even optical drives should prompt. You can change the settings for this in Windows though.
The flash drives that do have autorun features like the various Sandisk U3 ranges all get around this restriction by sectioning off a small amount of flash and pretending that it is actually an optical drive. The flash drive controller inside needs to support this though.
