../images/bullet2.gifCD AutoPlay - Auto Insert Notification

AutoPlay is a new feature introduced in WinXP used for detecting content such as pictures, music, or video files on removable media and removable devices. AutoPlay automatically launches applications to play or display said content.

AutoPlay should not be confused with AutoRun.

AutoRun, introduced in Win95, enables a Compact Disc (CD) to automatically launch a function, such as an installer or game play, when placed in the CD-ROM drive. This is accomplished through the use of an Autorun.inf file in the root directory of the Compact Disc (CD). For more details, see Creating an AutoRun-enabled CD-ROM Application.
