Autorun that you are asking about may be linked to the file types
associated with it.
Check your list of File Types and check if jpg jpeg are set for Always

JPG JPEG for Opens With 3/4 down the page. If you want to change it
click Change and there is a box to select always use the selected

Windows XP was designed to make it simpler to identify content on CDs or
DVDs, and assist in launching the correct program to open or view the
files. For example, insert a movie DVD and Windows XP should show
options for programs that can play a DVD. Unfortunately things can go
wrong - settings get altered and the autorun no longer wants to be your
friend. This free tool can help diagnose and repair autorun problems in
XP. It is a tiny download and doesn't require installation. Simply
double-click the exe file, click a few buttons (OK, some options are a
little cryptic) and you can change or repair your Windows XP autorun
options.
