Disabling Windows autorun for CDRoms

Windows automatically runs autorun.inf - I don't want that

Startup registrationeditor (Press Start - Run - regedit)
Navigate down to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom
Here you'll have an element Autorun.
Set it's value to 0 (double-click on it).
