How do I tell Nautilus to *not* automatically browse a CD whenever it is mounted?

It is starting to drive me nuts :)

Could it actually be a setting in /etc/fstab?

See about changing 'auto' to 'noauto' for your cdrom entry in /etc/fstab.

i.e.

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0

My /etc/fstab already has "noauto":

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,exec,nodev,unhide 0 0

At first I thought it could be something with my Gnome shortcut to mount the CDrom (right-click on desktop, disks, mount cdrom) but it also does it when I mount from a terminal window. So I assume there's a configuration file for Nautilus somewhere that says in effect "on mount..."
