AutoRun or AutoPlay is a feature of Microsoft Windows operating Systems which causes a certain file to be opened automatically when a Compact disc is inserted or a thumb drive is connected. Windows provide us some AutoPlay options to choose from. It can be chosen in the 'properties' of the CD Drive. You might have noticed that when we insert the CDs of Softwares or some movies some application will be launched automatically. In most cases, it may be one with a menu or a movie player. Such AutRuns are designed by the software vendors. Similarly, we can also design an autorun for a CD we burn or even for a pen drive.
