In earlier operating systems only those CD that had autorun.inf file in their root directory were able to execute on their own.
If you want to avoid this part of automation. What would I do. Simply press SHIFT key when you close the CD drive. It won't Auto play. For those of you, who want a registry hack. Here it is:
Open Registry and navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer] and look for key "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" and set its value to 185 (decimal). This would stop autoplay.
