You're right about Fitler Keys being set on the RHS key. If you go to Control Panel -> Accessiblity Options -> FilterKeys settings, it says:
The shortcut for FilterKeys is: Hold down the right shift key for 8 seconds
However, I think either shift key will work for preventing autorun (although, personally, I think the better option is to disable autorun as a globabl choice).
I've seen the same effect that venta is describing fairly frequently, and on pre XP machines (such as the NT machines in our office), which I don't think have Sticky keys. I think what's happened in those cases is that the machine has simply not caught the interrupt caused by the release of the shift key, and so thinks it's still pressed. My simple solution to that is to press and release the key again, and it rectifies itself (I've seen it on the Windows key, and Alt keys on Suns as well).
