If you tried the stuff in the article you mentioned not sure whats up. A temp work
around is hold down the SHIFT key till the cd mounts. This will stop it from auto
starting.

You are confusing Windows XP's "action" prompts with autorun, which is configured
on the CD, and unfortunately, you cannot that I can tell allow for instance an audio
CD to have an action prompt, but not allow programs to auto*run*.
To disable "action prompts":
1. Open tweak UI.
2. click the + next to my computer.
3. Click the + next to Autoplay.
4. Click on handlers.
5. You are in heaven. You can delete the handlers or change them. (ie. for music
files-->do this. blank cds-->do that.-->these are handlers at its simplest form.)
If you would like to configure a very specific action, (like open iTunes whenever
I insert an audio CD) --a wonderful "competitive" idea..
1. Select your CD-ROM drive when it is avaliable from My computer.
2. right-click on it and click properties.
3. the autoplay tab allows you to specify a default action like I described above.
