How can I stop users from running executables from a cd rom drive but still allow users read access to all other file types

run gpedit.msc and browse to:
Usr Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Installer
and then set "Disable Media source for any install" to "enabled" then check the check box that forces the settings 'on'. If this is set,then only users that have administrative rights can run programs from the CD-ROM drive.
