Never heard of it. What is it? What distribution do you use? How does it look like? Try to be more descriptive.

Autorun is a utility to automatically play a cdrom. In my computer it runs automatically after booting so a cdrom gets auto mounted due to it.

I need to stop its running during booting. How can i do that?
