TweakUI is pretty much the easiest way for (specific selected) drives I guess.
This works on XPPro SP3 32-bit (fully updated);
Start ->Run; "GPEDIT.MSC"
Left panel; Click 'Computer configuration'
Click 'Administrative Templates'; click 'System'.
Select 'Turn autoplay off', set it to 'Enabled' and choose 'All drives'.
Not sure if it would work for you, maybe x64 requires the MS update? -

Sorry, a bit tired and clearly didn't read your post too well.
