I'm not sure why you say that. I do that to stop programs from running when
i slip in a CD-ROM or DVD and the dumb ass company thinks I want all the
extra crap to start loading. works like a charm. Yeah I can turn off auto
play, but then the ones I want to start I have to do it manually. another
words any exes on the ROMS wont run but the movie or audio cd will.

Actually you can't. If you want to correct someone try reading the actual
