15828 2001-07-20 05:36:00 is it possible to create a shortcut (like the one on the quicklaunch toolbar that hides all open windows) that can eject or load the tray on a cd drive? Guest (0)
15829 2001-07-20 07:17:00 The show desktop button is an explorer script, so it is probably possible. But it would be easier to download a simple program that will do this for you as there are many available. Guest (0)
15830 2001-07-20 09:49:00 I do have one, that i downloaded with the DOS drivers for my cd drive, but it wont let me only eject one at a time Guest (0)
15831 2001-07-20 10:51:00 ...you could try this and see if you like it:

(i) Open Windows Explorer and right-click on your CD Drive in the Folders panel, left side > click 'Create short cut' > then follow directions to place it on your desktop.

(ii) right click and hold down on the new shortcut and drag it from the desktop to your Quicklaunch Bar next to the Start button.

(iii) release and click 'move here'.

You can then rightclick on this Icon for functionality. If you don't like it - simply rightclick and click delete.

cheers
