U can easily do this by registry edit..........But please make a restore point before doing this.And do it very carefully.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the box, and then press ENTER.
navigate to here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

To disable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 0 (zero).
To enable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 1.

Restart your computer.

U have done.

create a autorun.inf file and copy it to ur cd..
code:
[autorun]
OPEN=AUTORUN.EXE
ICON=ICON.ICO

where AUTORUN.EXE is the file u want to auto open
ICON.ICO is the icon wich u want to display..
