Question about 'Turn Off the CD-ROM Autorun'

I have a question about Turn Off the CD-ROM Autorun:

As far as I can see tweakui does not really fix this annoyance for me. All I want to turn off is autorun for executables (e.g. game discs like Civ III or Europa Universalis) because I am likely to be invoking them from an icon (in some cases giving me tailored entry to the game). I'm quite happy to let autorun start up a music CD as this is almost always why I will be loading it. But tweakui is kind of all or nothing and the menu options in XP allow tuning for every other kind of CD than the simple executable. So I'm back to using the shift key. But how annoying is that, to have to time how long to hold it down instead of getting on with your life?
