Autoplay is as at least as old as Windows 3.1. A file called "autoexec.bat" would be executed on mounting, IIRC (not a Windows-person myself).

- AshamedCaptain 4y agoNot at all. Autoplay is new to the win 95 shell. And the idea of "mounting" is absolutely alien to a DOS system which can't even tell when a disk is inserted or not on a device. DOS' shell would run autoexec.bat when booting but only the one from the boot volume.
- anthk 4y agoThat's autorun.inf, not autoexec.bat.
