rather than going<my computer - drive "D" / "E" - eject >

There is a little free program called Wizmo. Make a shortcut
"Wizmo open" and it opens the cd drive (or ejects it). You can also
make a "Wizmo reboot", Wizmo shutdown, "Wizmo hibernate" and many other
system command shortcuts.

Yes.

These two .vbs files will open the trays on D: and E: drives.

Copy the lines below into Notepad, not including the ---- parts.

Save as ejectD.vbs

-----------below this line----------------
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set MyComp=objShell.NameSpace(17)
Set CD=MyComp.ParseName("D:\")
Set Context=CD.Verbs
CD.InvokeVerb "E&ject"
-----------above this line----------------

There is one difference in the two, ("D:\") and ("E:\") are the drive
letters. These can be changed to any CD or DVD drive letter.

You can move the .vbs files where ever you want.

You can also create shortcuts to both .vbs files.

Forgot this.

Then just double click ejectD.vbs or ejectE.vbs to eject the drive. Or just
double click the shortcut to ejectD.vbs or ejectE.vbs to eject the drive.
