In Windows XP and earlier, the file would be read and automatically run without any kind of prompt. This file is normally very simple and basically just points to a file on the disc, usually the setup file or install file. If a CD contained a file called autorun.inf in the root directory, Windows would detect it automatically and follow the instructions in that file.
Most people think AutoRun and AutoPlay are just two terms for the same thing, but that is not accurate. AutoRun is a feature that first came out in Windows 95, It's intended to make installing apps for non-technicians easier. In order to understand AutoPlay, though, you also have to understand another very similar feature called AutoRun. AutoPlay is a feature in Windows that will automatically scan a device when it is connected to your computer and based on your settings, will either perform a specified action or do nothing at all.
