These Tipes are Incorrect: Read here for how to actually disable Autorun

The tips set out in the main post are incorrect. They only
work to disable certain types of media from playing
automatically. They do not disable the Autorun feature of
the CD-ROM drive entirely, which is what you need to do
if you want to stop CD-ROM's from autostarting install
programs and the like.
To fully disable the Autorun feature, you must edit your
registry and change the CD-ROM's Autorun value from 1
to 0.
If you are not sure how to modify your registy entries,
don't worry. It's really quite simple. For detailed
instructions look here:

Jim,
It must have been some Saturday night for you, you forgot the link for the main post.
Either that, or it was some weekend for me because I can't see the post you are
refencing. LOL

You can also set a local policy (windows xp pro not home).
Run gpedit.msc to get to the local policy editor, you can turn off autorun and do
quite a few other useful things here...
