If you have XP. Open explorer and create a new folder for sharing. Something like USB. Insert the Memory stick. Open Computer Management and right click on the removable disk. Select Change Drive Letter and Paths.

Select Add. Navigate to the Shared folder and Select it. From now on when you insert the Memory stick you will have a copy of the contents in the new share. Map the new share from the other PC and you should be able to access it.
