Microsoft's multitalented TweakUI does this, along with many other things... 
make sure you get the version for Windows XP; older versions won't work.

In the XP version of TweakUI, if you open the My Computer item (in the 
left-hand, expandable list), you'll see AutoPlay as one of the options-- 
expanding it, you can turn Autoplay off (or on) for specific drive letters of 
your choice, or generically for all CD/DVD drives or all removable drives.

You can get TweakUI from:

It's a modest 224 kb download.
