Autorun or Autoplay are extended, automatic functions associated
with removable media such as CD's and DVD's. The foundation
of this functionality is the "auto insert notification" support
in the device driver. When 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 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.
Note: Autorun can be disabled by the user through
the device manager or with an entry in SYSTEM.INI.
ROM With a View creates the required files for you. It provides
a complete user interface for each of the required settings
and configurations. Additionally and most importantly, ROM
With a View provides you with a complete authoring environment
to create a full featured, professional application that is
initiated through the autorun process.
