I did this once, but now can't remember 
Pissing me off - everytime I stick in a DVD or CD, or CD-R or ANYTHING, Autorun kicks in and starts playing shit in whatever programme!!!!
I go to the "take no action" and tick always use this setting but the next time I put a disc in, it does it anyway
So how do I stop drives autorunning completely?

There is no option to enable or disable automatically running CD-ROMs in the user interface.
To enable or disable automatically running CD-ROMs, you must edit the registry:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
2. Locate and click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\CDRom
3. To disable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 0 (zero). To enable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 1.
4. Restart your computer.
NOTE: This method disables automatically running CD-ROMs. If you want to disable automatically running CD-ROMs depending on the CD-ROM that you insert in the CD-ROM drive, you can press and hold down one of the SHIFT key while you insert the CD-ROM.

You "should" be OK, as long as you only change the registry key mentioned above......don't just randomly change everything in there, because that will break stuff!
