What is this called?

When you double click some disk images (DMG) that you download to install certain applications such as Skype for example you get a window where you can drag the application to the applications folder to install (sort of like an autorun dialog I guess).

Does this have a specific term and is it possible to create my own to make it easy to install an application that I distribute?

Thanks

Figured it out with the help of a tutorial. Turns out it's a simple as changing the view options, and dragging the icons where you want as it's all saved in the .DS_Store so it will look the same when opened on another computer.
