What's the command or exe file to eject cd's

[aspenjim]

The reason I ask is that I put a laptop DVD-RW in a mini-PC and had to remove the faceplate for clearance. Rather than damage the eject button, I'd like to put a shortcut on the desktop to the eject command. I've searched the windows directory and looked at all of the exe files and none of them resemble anything that would eject.

Here is a cmd script that willl open and close the cd

Save As OpenClose_CD.cmd

echo off && Cls && Mode 55,5 && Color 4f && Title Open Cd

Set VBS=%systemdrive%\OpenClose.vbs

Set VBS1=%systemdrive%\RemoveVBS.vbs

echo Preparing To Run The Script!

>> %vbs% Echo Dim ts

>> %vbs% Echo Dim strDriveLetter

>> %vbs% Echo Dim intDriveLetter

>> %vbs% Echo Dim fs 'As Scripting.FileSystemObject

>> %vbs% Echo Const CDROM = 4

>> %vbs% Echo On Error Resume Next

>> %vbs% Echo Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

>> %vbs% Echo strDriveLetter = ""

>> %vbs% Echo For intDriveLetter = Asc("D") To Asc("Z")

>> %vbs% Echo Err.Clear

>> %vbs% Echo If fs.GetDrive(Chr(intDriveLetter)).DriveType = CDROM Then

>> %vbs% Echo If Err.Number = 0 Then

>> %vbs% Echo strDriveLetter = Chr(intDriveLetter)

>> %vbs% Echo Exit For

>> %vbs% Echo End If

>> %vbs% Echo End If

>> %vbs% Echo Next

>> %vbs% Echo MSGBOX "YOUR CD IS: " ^& strDriveLetter,0 + 48,"CDROM=> " ^& strDriveLetter

autoit3 does it vry easily

jusy copy this code and change "E" to whatever ur drive's letter is. you can also change "open" to "closed"

CDTray("E:", "open")

? I have eject in context menu of CD/DVD drives.

[ripken204]

theres that option too, lol. unless he wanted to make it into a shortcut button like f7 or something like that.

Do you not have to have it installed for it to work, I am just asking, as the script

I posted does not require any third party stuff.
