Eject shortcut/hotkey

[Indybird]

This is going to be very hard to describe, so bare with me here...

What I want to do is make a shortcut, either desktop shortcut or hotkey that will eject a disk drive of my choice.

I might go as far as to make a USB device that has eject buttons on it that have assignable eject options...

Thanks,
Indybird

I think this (http://www.vicman.net/download.php?Title=HotKey%20CD-Eject) is a free program that will help.

Thats pretty nice, but I need something a little more solid. Something that has options for multiple drives/shortcuts: that one will only do one at a time...

The website says this though:


The tool works with multiple CD-ROM drives, letting you assign different hotkeys for different drives, and can load on startup.

I use this

I don't use it to eject the CD. I use it to put my monitors into sleep mode when I leave the computer. I have a MS Multimedia keyboard and was able to map the command to the "logout" button on the keyboard. You can use this in a command line or make a shortcut or batch file, whatever you desire.

It also has alot of other pretty useful commands as well.

I usr desktop sidebar or different reason, but the cd eject shortcut is one of them (http://www.desktopsidebar.com/)
