I thought Microsoft had issued a security update that disabled autorun

it's odd that inserting a disc still has autorun.inf getting read (and
its specified executable loaded) or of any media handler get loaded.

I don't know about the security patch, since I disabled all autoplay
years ago anyway. But DVD movies don't use autorun.inf at any rate. So
maybe this isn't effected by the patch?

What you want is to change, delete, or disable the autoplay settings.
Rather than edit the registry you can use Microsoft's TweakUI powertoy
or Windows Explorer. In TweakUI, go to the My Computer - AutoPlay -
Handlers node in the tree. Then delete the PowerDVD handlers. In
Windows Explorer, right-click on the optical drive, Properties, select
the media type in the drop-down list, and select which handler you
want as the default (or enable the prompt option so you always get
asked as to what handler you want to use - that's how I set it up).

Yes that works great.
