ABSTRACT:
Auto run apparatus, and an associated method, selectively permits execution of an auto run CD received at a CD ROM drive of a convergent device. When the auto run CD is received at the CD ROM drive, the operational mode of the convergent device is transferred to a computer mode. Thereafter, automatic execution of the CD is permitted.
