But I have to make a note: I have DaemonTools establishing virtual drivers. So in this case my DVD drive is E: Be smart with it. Another thing is that you can not forget to put a space after the quotes and then put cdrom open D: Tnx all Ok It worked!

There is a picture of it at http://www.itg.ias.edu/dragtodiscroxioeasycddvdcreator9 Is that it?

They erased my shortcut to open and close my D: Drive. The shortcut was on my desktop on top of all my work. It's a Icon of a CD-Disk, one inch by one inch. When I mouse click on the icon a ruler slides out from this Icon to give me a few options to choose from such as click to open, click to close, view, copy, etc. I went as far as having tech come into my computer to see what's going on. The Roxie Creator is not what I want. Although, it will open and close CD Drive, it takes too long to wait and it takes up a lot of screen. No Dell tech or even at the shop could help me get back my Icon that can do it all and very quick about it. I've search my software "Utility & Drivers" but just don't know what to look for. I can't believe that Dell doesn't know what the heck I'm talking about. This feature came with my computer when I purchased it in Jan 2008.. which is still under Warrenty. I miss this 1" x 1" Icon that can go behind or infront of my work. I design Card and that D: Drive is constantly opening and shutting. Does anyone know of this feature?

I wish PCs had a simple CD eject key like Macs have. Surely somebody can either make a toggle open/close shortcut, or even map it to the kayboard - I mean, how many of us use the F12 key?

I was ready to rip my Vostro desktops doors off ( thanks Dell for an idiotic engineering design that hides the DVD's button when a totally unneeded door is open ). This makes things tolerable.
