Click on the Drive & select properties , the Auto Play tab choose *take no action*
If you have M$ powertoys you can disable AutoPlay for drives.

You could also hold the Shift key down while loading the cd to prevent auto-play.

hi vegas:
To Disable CD Autoplay in Windows XP Pro
[1] Start/Run/GPEDIT.MSC
[2] Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System.
[3] Locate the entry for Turn Off Autoplay and modify.
Start/Run/Gpedit.msc/Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System. Check your settings in the right pane, Turn Off Autoplay (double click).
To Disable CD Autoplay, completely, in Windows XP Home
Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Then go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Name: NoDriveTypeAutoRun
Type: REG_DWORD
If NoDriveTypeAutoRun does not exist, create it and set its value to 145 (decimal).
Or...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:0x000000FF
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom
AutoRun = 0
Auto-Play: Enable
Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services/Shell Hardware Detection/Return this service to Automatic.
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\Cdrom. AutoRun = 1
