dabigfish Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Lock CD Tray v20150226 - tested under Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit This is an very simple code / program to lock / unlock all CD / DVD / BD drives at the same time, so then the eject button is out of order. Put this program into your Windows-Autostart-Folder to lock all CD drives when Windows starts. Click on the tray icon to open an tray menu with the following menu items: - Lock / Unlock ALL Optical Drives - Exit Why i wrote this program? Because i touch accidently the eject button of my notebook cd drive too often. That was very annoying, so now it is disabled and the cd tray keeps closed, even when windows is resuming form sleep or hibernation mode. . . . . program history: v20150226 - added a 10 sec pause when starting the program, so when windows starts this prevents mailfunction of program, problem was, that auto lock on program start did not work properly when windows started v20150223 - tray stays locked / unlocked when windows resumes from sleep or hibernation mode v20150221 - on exit unlock all optical drives v20150220 - initial release . . .

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 20, 2015 Moderators Posted February 20, 2015 dabigfish,You need a certain number of posts before you get certain permissions on the forum - as a complete newcomer you are a bit limited in what you can do. For the same reason I have not approved your request to upload your file - doing so implies that we approve of the script and as we have no idea who you are we are not prepared to accept that responsibility at present.

BrewManNH Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 You might want to think about having the script unlock all drives when you exit the script instead of just exiting it. You might end up with locked drives and the only way to unlock them is to run the script again, log out, or reboot. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

kjsisco Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 This script is very interesting. Ah, the power!
joeyd11ph Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Hello dabigfish I found your LockCDTray very helpful in terms of CD/DVD/BD protection from stealing. I appreciate very much if you could release a version without a Msgbox at execution time. I will include this exe file at startup then the PC user is not aware that the CD has been locked. Or If you are busy at this time pls let me know how to edit it. Thanks very much in advance. Joey Qatar
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted September 17, 2019 Moderators Posted September 17, 2019 @joeyd11ph first off why would you lock the CD tray, rendering it unusable, without telling the user?

joeyd11ph Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Hi Jlogan3015, My setup is a small DB system where an auto backup routine is executed every time an exit button is pressed, I use my DVD as a second back up (HD is my first). Due to data sensitivity, I don't want anybody can simply open my DVD tray and steal my DVD. Hi imtheky, I'm aware that paperclip can open the drive, by the same token I can also open the PC case and steal the HD without any tools. It is all snap-in. You call this stealing in purpose. Hi Manko, You are right, hard work hahaha... nothing is free....... My immediate solution was to cut the pin/peg beneath the button pad. If I want to eject it, I do it on Admin account right click and eject or PAPER CLIP. Cheers guys Joey Edited October 3, 2019 by joeyd11ph
