Load/Eject disk option in Windows XP? Help

Post by rodos1979 »

Hello! :)

When I right-click a drive in Explorer (WinXP Home) I have the option only to eject the disk. Is there any way to add a "load" option too? So that I can open and close the cd tray via software.

Thanks! :)

Apple has a dedicated key for that purpose on the keyboard (or the OS uses F12 on other keyboard brands)...
a particulary handy feature if the OS is convinced that there is nothing worth opening... ;)
(you must know that for 'style's sake' the physical ecect button is completely unaccesible)
you have to reboot the machine to get access to the drive again - did this countless times with a Dual G4, maybe they named the model 'Mirror Door' to ironically point to this 'feature'... :P

cheers, Tom
