is it bad etiquette to call someone teh suXX0R? Because if it is, i won't. But that's what I think of drawer-ejecting pranks.

actually the command im asking for is not a prank, its a command and was not inteded as a prank at all. and anyway
...just so you can sit there and watch your tray open and close repeatedly (which probably isn't a good idea for your drive)?...
I changed my mind, i dont want to break it or anything.

Sometimes the PC is under the desk or whatever and you don't want to keep leaning over to press the eject button or push the drawer in, so a batch util to open & shut the drawer can be handy.

However we have had queries from infantile schoolboy pranksters who think it is funny to open and shut classmates or teacher's CD tray, hence my suspicion. Sorry if i was wrong...

if you have Nero installed you have Nerocmd.exe which is a command line utility

If your cd drive letter was X: then these commands would do what they suggest

nerocmd --eject --drivename x

nerocmd --load --drivename x

You have to either have nerocmd.exe on your PATH or else include the full path to nerocmd.exe

If you want to open and close your cd drive, try this useful little program.
