| 335976 | 2005-03-20 12:07:00 | I have a small 'joke' program installed which opens and closes my cd/dvd drawer. It was a 135kb download and works well. I made a keyboard shortcut to it, so ctr+alt+h opens a very small box in the current window, then I press Enter to open the drawer or tab+enter to close it. Alternatively, there is an icon on the taskbar to mouse click on, then press enter or tab+enter. The program was a joke called 'The Cupholder' and the options to open or close the drawer are labelled 'extend cupholder' and 'retract cupholder' Here is the address of the free download. They state that you should check for viruses before any installation. www.thepocket.com It is listed alphabetically under the letter T, for 'The Cupholder'. |
