Autorun or Autoplay are extended, automatic functions
associated with removable media such as CD's and DVD's.
The foundation is the insert notification support in
the device driver. Most, if not all, removable
devices available today support this feature.
After Windows detects that a disk has been inserted,
it looks in the disk's root directory, finds, reads
and follows specific instructions defined in a text
based configuration file, Autorun.inf.
The Autorun.inf file defines the process or application
that will automatically run when a disk is inserted.
The Autorun file can also define the following:
- The Icon that will represent your application's
CD or DVD when the drive is viewed with My Computer
or Explorer.
- Menu commands displayed when the user right-clicks
the CD-ROM icon from My Computer or Explorer.
