    AutoRun: An 'AutoPlay' Example for Windows 95

    AutoRun illustrates the new 'AutoPlay' feature that has been added 
    to Windows 95. AutoPlay is the method by which the operating system 
    will automatically execute your application off of CD-ROM when the 
    CD is inserted into the drive, if you include an \AUTORUN.INF for 
    the system to process. It is intended that this sample code 
    demonstrate how to seamlessly integrate the Windows 95 AutoPlay 
    functionality with your application.

    Included in this archive are a few things to demonstrate this. AutoRun 
    is a sample Win32 application which is run by the AUTORUN.INF as a 
    "splash screen" application; it calls the main application, Static.exe, 
    an x86 Win32 executable sample application. AutoRun can be easily 
    modified to use an application other than Static. The AutoRun Win32 
    code will work in Windows 95, Windows NT, or Windows 3.1 using Win32s. 
    For more information on AutoRun, see AutoRun.wri; for more information 
    on the Windows 95 AutoPlay interface, see AutoPlay.doc.
