Thread: Tutorial:How to add "Insert" Opition on the right click menu of cd drive

Hi guys.
As we right click on cd drive opition we get the opition eject but not the Opition "Insert".
In this tutorial i will explain step-by-step on how to add the opition "Insert" in the right click menu of cd drive.

Steps:-
1) First download this file
2) Extract the DLL file and copy and paste it to "C:\Windows\System32".
3)Copy and paste the quoted text in notepad.

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\ContextMenuHandler s\{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}]
@="{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}"

4) Save the file as .reg with any name.

Welcome j4k
did u try it?it works!
i have a proof.see:

after the procedure u have to wait for abut 5-10 mins.

No. Tried it. It is giving me the error:

Cannot import <filename>. This specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor.

But I suppose that this method will not work for laptop CD/DVD ROMs because they have manual operation only.

This really works. Repo [ASAP]. Is there any way to move the Insert button near Eject button. Or change the Eject button to Insert if the CD tray is already open ?

BTW, There is a problem in the registry entry provided here. The *third line will create a new Key (registry folder) called ContextMenuHandler s instead of merging with ContextMenuHandlers Key.

*Original Code

Code:

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

Fixed Code

Code:

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

Handy thread. Rated.

@="{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}"

doesn't work for me

I am running Windows 7. Do I need to make any changes

no it works with win7 too.
u should have done some mistake.
ya it takes 5-10mins to take effect.

I got a 404-File not found error for the file "cdeject.dll".

It can be found here: 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download cdeject.zip

I also got the 404 file not found error message. So I searched for the cdeject.dll file and found another one. Later I tried to download the first file with a proxy and it worked.

Thank you for your tutorial, but I would like to know if you know of another way of adding this context menu WITHOUT having to download anything from the internet.

If you didn't know, you can "Close" the CD/DVD drive tray by opening Computer Management > Removable Storage > Libraries > <right-click> on Media Device* > Eject (is the top option).

*Where Media Device is your CD or DVD Drive

This will Eject the Media Device Tray. Right-click again on the Media Device and "Eject" is now replaced with "Inject" (Closes the Tray).

By clicking Inject, the Media Inject Wizard is launched in a new window. Click Next and Next again. The Media Device Tray will then close!

Obviously this involves a lot of key strokes, but it does demonstrate that with the correct and known commands + registry entries this can be turned into a right-click context menu for Inject.

Do you know how I can get this to work?

wonderful... Repped..
