Open/Close CD - How to I make it eject (or close) my cd when I run a program?

Question

Accepted Answer

You can use the command line options that are included with Open/Close CD. Here is the usage:

OPEN_CD.EXE {open or close} {cd-rom drive letter} {path to program to execute}

For Example:
"C:\OPENCD\OPEN_CD.EXE" open d "C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE"

This would eject the CD-ROM drive D:\ and then open Notepad.

"C:\OPENCD\OPEN_CD.EXE" open "C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE"

This would eject Windows default CD-ROM and then open the Calculator.

If you want to specify a drive letter (for multiple CD-ROM's)
just add the drive letter:

C:\OPENCD\OPEN_CD.EXE open e c:\windows
otepad.exe

This would eject the CD-ROM drive E:\ then launch Notepad.
