If you're using KDE, there is an autorun.desktop file in your AutoStart folder in KDE. I usually delete it the first time I log in. If you click on a "CD ROM Device" desktop icon, it will automatically mount it anyway. As far as mounting when you run another program goes, I don't really know. I'd probably just write a script to mount it, run the app, and then unmount it. Some programs might know enough to mount a CD if they need to. If you're using Gnome, sorry I can't help. I'm guessing that there's something similar there.
