How can I completely disable AutoRun for Windows 7 Home Premium? For instance, when I open my DVD drive in My Computer, I want to see the contents of the DVD instead of running autorun.inf.
I have disabled AutoPlay in the Control Panel, and selected "Take no action" for each media type.
Note that Microsoft has crippled gpedit.msc on Windows 7 Home versions, so that is not an option. Bonus points if your solution works for all users.
