Open Close Cd Tray

I`m not shore that this is the right place to ask this but here it goes:

Does anybody know if it`s there a program that would allow me to when I click the icon (on my dock): once it will open the CD tray and when I click it again it will close it???

you can try this.

not sure if it'll close it when you click on it again, though.

Thanks for the efort but that`s a systray app, I need only an exe which would depending on if CD tray is opend/closed close/open CD tray when activated trough my dock.

But thanks anyway dreamz.

oops, here's a non-systray one. http://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/utility/open_cd/

i'm still looking for others. i know i've seen them somewhere before.

edit: some more, but they're shareware.

i think it might be possible with a script of some kind. i'm sure someone around here could write one. either that or maybe a docklet.

There's a command line utility to load or open based on arguments, but that won't do what you want either.

eject is the program's name.

open_CD is closest to the real thing but I`d need 4 shortcuts ( open CD-R, close CD-R, open CD-RW, close CD-RW) so it would be messy.

But a docklet is a great Idea (I`ll put it on a wish list and maybe I get lucky )

yeah, it's not worth looking for an app (a shareware one at that!) that'll do something so simple. request it, and hope it comes true.

Thank you very much dreamz for your help. :rule:

This is my solution for now:

combination of KkMenu docklet and open_CD (http://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/utility/open_cd/)

no prob. that looks neat!

Since you have more than one CD drives, you will either have to use one icon for every CD or use a menu.
