Unable to copy and paste files from flash to my laptop

If it's a memory stick, when you put it in the slot, it should auto come up with a window in order to open and see what its got?

On selecting it, it will come up as a window and should be able to do what's normally done on any window?

If not, check to see if it registered. by going into devoces and printers.
If it's not there, it hasn't been installed?
