If you want to run Linux within a running Windows ie. as a windows 
executable then try qemu-puppy Linux:

I can't remember the URL but this page seems to point in the right 
direction.

http://mypcquickref.110mb.com/qemu.shtml

I believe the current version is at 2.17.

It appears to be easy to adapt to other Linuxs but I wouldn't bank on it.

When in Windows plug in the USB stick, click the exe and after quite 
some time you'll have Linux running in it's own Windows window.
