If CD-ROM-recognition is activated under Windows 95, CDs are automatically recognised and the file AUTORUN.INF is automatically executed, provided this file is located in the root directory of the CD. This file can automatically execute any program (e.g. with harmful functions) saved on the CD-ROM.
Whether or not this option is enabled, can be recognised, for example by the fact that Explorer automatically blends in the title of the CD-ROM in front of the CD drive letter. As a side-effect, energy-saving functions usually are no longer activated.
