Default USB drive network sharing

I have multiple USB external drives connected to one computer and shared
to all others on my network. Easy enough, unless the shared drives are
not present when the computer boots, because then the sharing is lost.

My goal is to be able to turn on the drives individually when needed and
automatically restore sharing at the same time. I've made batch files
that look like this:

net share TV4_Downloads=L:/
pause

That works fine when I run the batch file on the host but I need a way
to run the batch file automatically when the drive is powered up. I've
tried adding the batch file to the autorun folder and adding this to the
autorun.inf file:

OPEN=AUTORUN\ShareTV4.bat

But that didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Or is there an easier way
to do this?

I've looked at a program called USB Redirector, but the trial version is
limited to one drive and the paid version is too expensive.
