I tell you what - if you contact WinDVD, Canon, and Adobe support to request
this feature and they tell you they don't know how, I'll personally work
with them to make that happen. (Lemme know the status and we can pass them
along my contact info if needed.)
This feature is implemented by the application vendor, and is actually
really easy to do for DVD playback. The EOS and Lightroom tasks may be more
difficult, but registering for AutoPlay is really child's play to pretty
much any developer.
But yeah: please ask those vendors to support this. There should be
excellent documentation on MSDN for them to refer to here, and I'd suspect
this is already addressed in later versions of those softwares.
