Autoplay Problem

Does anyone know how to disable autoplay opening files
when there is no autoplay.inf file?

Automatically Opening Folders
On Windows Me and Windows 2000, Autoplay V1 opens a folder
to display the contents of a newly mounted hard disk drive
or to display the contents of network drives mapped
through the Map Network Drive menu option in Windows.
Likewise, if there is an Autorun.INF file on a CD media
and the open or ShellExecute command is not specified,
Windows will open a folder on the root of the drive.
Starting with Windows XP, Autoplay V2 opens a folder
following the insertion of media in a CD drive or
removable disk drive if it can't find an Autorun.INF file
and the Autoplay V2 content sniffing does not find any
known content. Content sniffing is new to Autoplay V2 and
is explained later in this article. This behavior also
applies to removable hard disks, like USB and 1394 hard
disks.

Just to make it a little clearer - I do not wish to disable autoplay but would like to disable the folder opening if the cd has no autoplay.inf file!
