w2k and CD AutoRun

Have anybody succeeded in disabling CD autorun on w2k without causing
problems?

The problem is that the Removable Storage knows about the CD drive, and
behaves extremely badly if autorun is disabled in the CD’s device registry
key (Enum registry).
It writes lots of “device arrived”/“device removed” events to the log,
and also pops up an unsafe removal dialog box each time I do the PnP
rescan - regardless of the fact that the CD drive is enabled, is OK and is
not lost.
Maybe there are some ways of deleting the CD from the list of the
devices known to Removable Storage?

How do I disable CD auto run. Is it in HKLM\SYS\CCSet\Enum..\DeviceParams?
I want to avoid unnecessary cd locking by disabling autorun.

Thanks

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom

AutoRun REG_DWORD

Beware - this ruins the Removable Storage Manager (another piece of code
pretending to be clever and making live more difficult).
After this, I saw surprise removal dialogs for my DVD drive (!) spit by
PnP. Sheer nonsense.
This is due to some idiocy in RSM.
