Many people dislike this "feature" and would

prefer to open, browse, and read CD's like any other disk.

To turn this "convenience" off, try this...

Right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties.

Choose the Device Manager tab.

Open the CD-ROM listing, and select your CD-ROM.

Click Properties, and then choose the Settings tab.

Turn off the Auto insert notification option.

Click OK, and then OK again.

Next time you restart Windows, autorun will be gone.
