How to set default behavior for Autorun in Windows 7?

Through this setting the administrator of a system can enable or disable the property whether to let the programs (installation program etc.) run automatically upon their detection through CD/DVD or other media. This used to be irritating in the previous versions of Windows where the programs ran automatically upon their detection.

1) Open Start menu and type gpedit.msc in the search box and hit Enter key.
