manipulation of "autorun" choices?

[Falco98]

When i put in an audio CD, Autorun pops up with all sorts of useful options
for me.
such as: "open folder to view files". since there is so much useful info
in CDA pointers.
or, "rip music from CD" using Media player. since i really want my music
ripped in proprietary DRM formats.
or "Play Audio CD" with RealOne player. since i really like crappy bloated
programs from big scary companies...

what, then, if i (only) want it to allow me to open a CD in WinAmp, or rip
using EAC? I've looked rather extensively, but am at a loss for how to
tweak the mysterious autoplay popup. I'm beginning to think that it's
embedded in something so deep that not even RegEdit can find it (i hope i'm
wrong on that one, though). Perhaps there's an easier, or even direct, way
to do it? If anyone could tell me what i've been overlooking, it'd be very
appreciated.
Thanks,
~Mike

Thanks,
I actually neglected to check TweakUI; actually it has mysteriously
disappeared from my system, i noticed this about a year ago and never
bothered to fix it. will reinstall now (hoping it doesn't conflict with
whatever i had previously)
