Post subject: | empty DVD ejecting |
I am one more of those poor-old MS-Windows users who still use PCs mostly for work and productivity. After a HDD crash I decided to give a try to Win7 Ultimate 64bit at my home PC, as I was really boring to setup once again XP. Everything went nice and easy - all my devices were recognized by the OS after Windows Update (+1 for MS) ... and this is the end of the good news. The new design of the Start menu and the Vista-concept for the WinExplorer made me insane! I planned a dual-boot installation of XP/7 *BUT* I stepped on a reference to your app just before I start it. Now I am enjoying again my PC with all the functionality that MS sacrificed in the altar of mobile devices! THANK YOU!! Just a little annoyance (I am not sure that it is a bug): when I use the keyboard at the left pane of Windows explorer and I reach the empty DVDwriter device, it ejects. Is there any way to avoid this? It is a minor issue. Motherboard > Asus P5Q3 DVDwriter > TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C ATA Device |

The DVD burn component ejects the empty drive prompting you to insert a blank DVD. I know that's retarded, but that's how Windows 7 works. You can do one of two things: 1) Disable the "Auto-navigate to the selected folder" setting. This will prevent the drive from being selected 2) Disable the burn component. Here's how: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/59 ... sable.html |

Hello guys... is there any way to create a new custom button with "DVD Elect/Insert" option? Like the command of the "right click" on the drives we have in windows. Thank you. |

i cant find one for open & close, so close needs a button of its own, with the same command, but change open to close, as such: nircmd.exe cdrom close f: where f: is the letter of whatever your own DVD drive is

And i, from some DVD Drive utilities i have on my files, i haven't find something for open/close with the same click. If we find one SW, that when execute it the drive open and close, we have find the best solution. |

I have this app in my "c:\Programs" folder... (EJECT 2.02) http://www.brothersoft.com/eject-6300.html My DVD-drive is "H", so I created 2 desktop shortcuts as you can see in the image attached. I am not sure if there is a way to create a script that activates "open" if the drive is "closed" and vice-versa, so only 1 shortcut will be used. I am so used to these 2 icons that I do not care anymore Tested under Windows 2000/XP/7.

Note also that EJECT.EXE is less than 12kb unzipped. |

cool, I just use the Nircmd version since its already on my system for other reasons, and its a pretty useful tool.. actually i think i used it for volume control & mute functions when I was using a keyboard without built-in volume buttons . and i just love nirsoft stuff... but nircmd is pretty versatile who makes eject.exe? and what other little things have they made? |
