The registry. Run REGEDIT and go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Services\Cdrom

Doubleclick on "Autorun" on the right-hand side and change its value from 1 to 0.

After you reboot your machine will no longer automatically play any disk.

You should still be able to right-click on the CD drive in My Computer and have it autoplay a disk on demand.
