TUTORIAL: Add "INSERT" Option in CD Drive Context Menu !

Vishal Gupta · 09-09-2006, 02:02 AM

1. Download the attached file (download it from source link, if you can't download it here), extract it and copy the DLL file to "%windir%\System32" folder.

2. Copy following code in notepad:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{02A07E80-EFA2-11D4-8306-A7EBD4C50C7C}]
@="CDEject Context Menu Shell Extension"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{02A07E80-EFA2-11D4-8306-A7EBD4C50C7C}\InprocServer32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cdeject.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}]
@="{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}"

3. Save the file with any name but the extension must be .REG

4. Now run the file, it'll ask your permission, accept it.

5. Now you'll get an Insert option in the CD Drive context menu.

rollcage · 10-09-2006, 01:22 AM

@Vishal Cant we have eject/insert as combine(single) item in menu

Vishal Gupta · 10-09-2006, 01:25 AM

Actually the work is being done by the DLL file itself.
If u want to change the working, then u'll hv to decompile the DLL file, change its coding and then recompile it again

PS: If u see more carefully, then when we hv some CD in the drive, the "Insert" option is automatically changed to "Eject".

rollcage · 10-09-2006, 01:59 AM

I used to wonder why there is Insert kind of menu option missing for optical drives. I think there is equivalent thing in Mac OS (but I am not sure).

Thanks for the creator Vishal that we are going to have this option.

@ Vishal Gupta

I tried all u told but there was a problem. After complete procedure (registering dll file) , when I click for eject, CD tray opens & context menu item 'Eject' changes to 'Load' but nothing happens when I click on it.

Then I googled for that software 'CD Eject' but I didn't found it. Then I downloaded 'Virtual Clone Drive' & that's working fine means it opens & closes CD tray. But I like the previous option vry much i.e. registering the dll file.
Plz send tell me the link from which can I download that software 'CD Eject'. Also give a solution for dll file method.
