Abstract

An information processing apparatus that has an automatic execution function to automatically execute a file which has been input to an automatic execution folder. The apparatus sets the automatic execution folder in which a process content has been set, and adds, in a case that a file is to be moved to the automatic execution folder by a first application, a piece of uniquely specifiable identification information to the file, and determines, in a case that the first application is to automatically execute a file held in the automatic execution folder, whether or not the identification information has been added to the file, and performs control to automatically execute the file in a case that the identification information has been added, and not to automatically execute the file in a case that the identification information has not been added.
