Fixing autorun in Windows 7

Lately I notice that every time I insert a DiskOnKey or a disk, the AutoPlay/autorun doesn't appear. I also notice that when I click on the disk drive in My Computer window, I will get directed to the explorer view of the disk and the autorun doesn't engaged.

It is especially annoying when I insert a disk for some installation and I have to search for the setup.exe file…

After googling for a while I found this article:

After running all the steps described in the article, all came back to normal…
