INF file
In computing, an INF file or Setup Information file is a plain-text file used by Microsoft Windows for the installation of software and drivers. INF files are most commonly used for installing device drivers for hardware components. Windows includes the IExpress tool for the creation of INF-based installations. INF files form part of the Windows Setup API and of its successor, Windows Installer. The directory contains several such codice_1 files. Structure. The structure of an INF file is very similar to that of an INI file; it contains various sections that specify the files to be  copied, changes to the registry, etc. All INF files contain a codice_2 section with a codice_3 key–value pair specifying the version of Windows that the INF file is meant for. The signature is commonly codice_4 (for Windows 9x) or codice_5 (for Windows NT/2K/XP). Most of the remaining sections are user-defined and contain information specific to the component being installed. An example of an INF file might have something like this: [autorun] open=example.exe What this would do is open the codice_6 file automatically whenever the media containing the file (in its root directory) is connected to  the computer. This can be dangerous, as there is no way to tell whether such a file exists before inserting the media. Since Windows XP, however, this feature has been replaced with a menu forcing the user to choose which action to take. INF Files can sometimes be dangerous on Windows 2000 as they may allow viruses to autorun without prompting. They are blocked on Windows 7, but can be worked around. [autorun] open=example.bat icon=cd.ico codice_7 command replaces any old or default drive icon with the specified one. codice_8 can be replaced by codice_9 or codice_10
