Have you ever been in gpedit.msc, I know you can disable auto play all together in there you might check and see if it is disabled. You type gpedit.msc in the run box and look in Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System there it will give the option to disable or enable. Also, when in the properties of the drive in explorer on autoplay. You can click the little arrow on the right side of the box where it says music files and a drop down box will give options for different kind of cd files.
