Try explaining the situation and what you want a little better.

"open & shut D: with a single shortcut" doesn't say much.

Translation: :sarc:

I'd like to have a single shortcut that can open & close the D: cdrom drive :sleepy:

at the moment I have two shortcuts in my taskbar... seems like a waste of space which could be helped with just 1 shortcut to do both tasks ^^

Could you this little script made by one of our long time members - MilesAhead

Down near the bottom of the page.

Tray -

Faves Downloads

Does open a little window you have to use to open and close, but it's all from the one launcher. Worked OK for me when I pinned it to the taskbar. Closest I could find.

Just an update for others ^^

Have uninstalled Tray.exe bit buggy & my AV said it was Gemini virus (maybe FP??)

Have installed a desktop Gadget -=CLICKY=-

It's a bit ugly looking

just increase transperancy & hide it in corner of desktop...

No bugs (as of yet)

:chuurz:

You could talk to the the developer about it, maybe he could help with the bugs. Pretty sure it's a safe program, he's been a long time member here and at our sister site Vistax64.com.

Try this program: JumpList Launcher – How To Create Custom Jump List In Windows 7
and use Nircmd open and close scripts, pin to taskbar = one taskbar icon to open/close or with as many apps as necessary

If you are looking for a better looking gadget, then you can check out Q' Drive Info gadget.
Windows Live Gallery

It shows all the drives (HDD, Removable, Flash, CD, DVD.....) with information for all drives and eject button for all removable drives. Very useful if you have multiple drives.

EDIT: Just realized that the gadget doesn't show empty drives.

I've made a gadget to do it. This gadget lists all the CD drives and individual drives can be ejected.
Clicking on the CD drive image will eject all the drives.
