Is it possible the PortableApps Platform starts automatically when I insert the usb-stick in a computer?

OK, thanks. But then the Platform is not so usefull if I only have 2 portable apps on my usb-stick (browser and emailclient). Is that correct?
Still useful for keeping your apps up to date with the built in updater.
I myself find it useful even if I only have a few apps installed as the starter for the platform is inside the root of the drive and I dont have to go searching for the launcher for my app (start.exe versus /PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable/ThunderbirdPortable.exe)
Besides that I like the additional features of the platform (backup and updater).
But in the end it comes down wether you yourself find it useful. If you don't, use it differently.
