Preloading data was a common practice with the distribution of CDs, however, preloading is not common with USB drives in regard to information and documents pertaining to product or company information.  This lack of preloading is why applications are rarely launched from USB drives.  It is very simple to execute and launch hundreds of applications directly from USB drives using a simple launcher application that can be downloaded online.

Next time you distribute logo-printed USB drives for your campaigns, consider the impact you could make on your visitors. A pre-loaded presentation with all your business details will influence the viewer compared to a blank flash drive.
