Difference between AutoPlay and Autorun

Difference between AutoPlay and Autorun

AutoPlay

One Windows feature is an AutoPlay which gives you an option window to choose program to use to launch different types of media, such as music CDs, or CDs or DVDs containing pictures. For example, the first time you try to play a music CD, AutoPlay asks which media player you want to use, if you have more than one installed on your computer. You can change AutoPlay settings for every media type.


Autorun

A technology named Autorun which is used to start some programs or enhanced content such as video content on a music CD automatically when you put in a CD or another media type into your computer. This is dissimilar from AutoPlay, but the result is often the same. When you insert a CD, it starts automatically with an exacting program. Autorun is integrated into the media types that use it, and you can't change it.

When you endeavor to play a CD or another media type that uses autorun, AutoPlay asks you to choose an action to carry out for example to play the autorun content or to skip it.
