Fix or remove Windows AutoPlay with CleanHandlers
CleanHandler is a utility that helps you remove or fix entries from the AutoPlay menu. There's no option for adding new programs to the AutoPlay menu. If your media player of choice doesn't support AutoPlay, there's not much CleanHandler can do. But it can clean up bad registry entries.

In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.

right on, steven
Now, for the folks who:
- don't have Tweak UI
- don't want to download Tweak UI
- don't know how to download Tweak UI
- don't care about Tweak UI
... follow Tweak UI suggestion:
- open My Computer
- right-click the drive you want to customize
- select Properties
- select Autoplay
- select a content type, then chose an action for window to perform automatically
- repeat for any content type to modify
- when finished, click Apply or OK
- et voilà
- enjoy
Well, you can also get a computer without a CD or a DVD...

I suppose my comment was a bit cryptic. :) The devil is in the details. It sounds more complicated than it is in TweakUI. It's definitely a addon you will not want to live without. But is it compatible with Vista? Not. Dealing with autorun issues is natively easier in Vista. Definitely don't install anything extra to do this. Just follow these instructions: hit the windows key, type "autoplay" into the search bar (no quotes), now just change software to "take no action". Do the same for any other media types you want.
