Cannot disable autorun completely

All,
I've ran into something that's driving me nuts. I cannot
completely disable the autorun "feature" (I despise it. <g>) on network
drives mapped to a CD/DVD drive. I have two machines here networked. One is
an x64 machine and I have both XP 32-bit and x64 installed on it. The
problem happens on both machines and both 32 and 64-bit versions.
I had the "NoDriveTypeAutorun" key under
HKLM\........\Policies\Explorer set to 0xFF, but noticed that Autorun would
activate when I mapped a drive letter to CD/DVD drive via the network. I
then set the same key under the HKCU path and that didn't stop it. I then
set the "NoDriveAutorun" to the full 0x3FFFFFFFF value, and under both HKLM
and HKCU, and that still didn't work.
Both 32 and 64 bit versions of XP will still activate autorun on a
mapped CD/DVD drive. And that includes mapping a drive letter to a shared
drive back on the local machine as well as a remote machine.
I don't know if this is some bug or something screwy with my
systems.
