Windows 7 Starter version - turn off autorun?

I'm working on a Windows 7 Starter version computer.  I would like to disable autorun/autoplay.  From what I've read online gpedit is not available in this version of Windows.  I assume gpedit just edits the registry.  Will the registry edits from older versions of Windows disable autorun/autoplay?  If not is there a way to disable autorun/autoplay on Windows 7 Starter?

Thanks to both of you.  The control panel solution provided by Ian worked for me so I did not need to try Criple's solution although Criple's was exactly what I was looking for and I was wondering if I should add the keys if they weren't already there.  I also learned how to run a search item as Administrator.

Again, thanks to both of you as both answers were very helpful.
