I think that the funniest thing is that most of the windows cd-recording software packages I've installed have a prompt like;

"Auto-insert notification should be turned off to prevent errors during recording. Turn off auto-insert notification?" [YES] [No]

Therefore, even the target audience of this protection scheme is not prevented from copying CDs.

Auto-insert notification is not the same thing as the Auto-run feature.

You want to leave the first on, and the second off (for general usage).
Of course, Windows only exposes the setting for the first!

True.

However, if auto-insert notification is turned off, the auto-run is not executed.
