Microsoft® AutoPlay is a feature of the Microsoft Windows® 95 operating system. When you insert a CD containing AutoPlay into a CD-ROM drive on a Windows 95-based platform, AutoPlay automatically starts an application on the CD that installs, configures, and runs the selected product. AutoPlay automates the procedures for installing and configuring products designed for Windows 95-based platforms that are distributed on CDs.
You can use AutoPlay to install and run CD-ROM applications that run with Windows 95, whether the application is based on the MS-DOS® operating system, Windows 3.0, Windows 3.1, or Windows 95.
For your CD-ROM product to display the Microsoft Windows 95 logo, it must be enabled for AutoPlay.
Note MS-DOS and previous versions of Windows (versions 3.0 and higher) ignore AutoPlay. Adding AutoPlay to the CD does not hinder or alter user interaction when the CD-ROM is installed on a platform for MS-DOS, Windows 3.0, or Windows 3.1.
