Me neither, and a little googling on the subject seems to suggest this problem is limited to the driver windows uses for USB sticks. Apparently, there is a work around (not tested by me) by forcing windows to see your stick as a USB disk (1). This will only work on PC's that have been modified for your particular stick though. Suppose its an extra level of security and you could always carry the modified driver on the first partition of the stick for portability.
