ShopA Windows Explorer window appears instead of the AutoPlay dialog box when you connect a removable storage device to a Windows Vista-based computer
Consider the following scenario:
- You connect a removable storage device to a Windows Vista-based computer.
- This storage device has a DCIM folder in its root directory.
- This storage device has an Autorun.inf file in its root directory.
In this scenario, a Windows Explorer window appears instead of the AutoPlay dialog box. Therefore, you cannot start the program that is configured in the Autorun.inf file.
If this storage device has a DCIM folder in its root directory but does not have an Autorun.inf file in its root directory, options for viewing pictures appear in an AutoRun dialog box. Therefore, you can select the program that you want.
