This is a little app I made quite a while ago, no big deal, and a lot of you might not find use for it, but who knows ;)

Place this little app in your startup folder, and it will run on your system tray. Click it, and your CD drive will eject.

I needed this for personal use, because my laptop has the eject button as a touch sensor on the inside, above the keyboard, so when I'm connected to a monitor (always), I don't want to have to open my laptop to eject.
For those of you with this problem, your problem is solved!

Haha. I made one of these a long time ago. The only problem with this one is that it doesn't close if you click it again.

That may be true, but most CD drives I've seen nowadays don't have those controlable tracks that can pull it back in. I haven't seen one of those in ages to be honest :P
Most of em now just shoot the tray out, then you have to push it back in.
Personally, on my computer, I don't have a tray, just a slot, so I don't have to close anything ;)
