Well, I don't like the autostart of CDs on the windows plattform too.
If I want to look into a manual of a driver (printer, soundcard, ...) and insert the cd, it tries to install the driver...
I don't see the CDs which would support the autostart, but of course
- you may build your own autostart mechanism
- you may try to read and interpret the autorun.inf-file for windows, and
--) abort, if a xy.exe is called
--) open fireforx, konqueror, elinks, opera or something, if a html-file is to open
--) try to translate a .bat-file to .sh and ran that
--) start java, if the programm is a java program, or start another portable program where possible.
-) start an audioplayer, if the cd is a audiocd
