I'm getting " is not a valid win32 application"
Is this because my CD-DVD drive letter is "w" ???
Pls help me
thanks

Hello Sesha, and welcome to Seven Forums.
The drive letter wouldn't matter. The context menu uses the default CD/DVD drive.
It sounds like you may not have download the 64-bit version of the nircmd.exe file in step 2A.
Double check through the steps to make sure that you didn't miss anything by mistake. :)

If your Windows is not an English version, then their could be a translation issue with the commands and registry entries from this.
If your experienced, you could edit the .bat and .reg file to compare with your Windows to make sure that the paths are the same language or not.

The way you described it is not working.
Firstly: One needs to tell the explicit path under "command"
Secondly: It is not very clever to make it for the desktop right click dialog only.
You cannot expect anybody to deliberately change to the desktop each time
the command is needed. This is highly annoying.
Instead it should be working on rightclick inside the file explorer at least,
if not from about everywhere no matter where you just are (global command)
Thirdly: It works only for ONE single drive that a user can specifically name, if necessary,
if it isn't the standard D:
So, your idea isn't bad, however, the solution unfortunately isn't very well.
For my needs, I now get along after I changed the registry entry as follows:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Eject/Close CD/DVD Tray]
"icon"="imageres.dll,-30"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Eject/Close CD/DVD Tray\command]
"C:\Windows\System32\Eject-Close_CD-DVD.bat" "%1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\Eject/Close CD/DVD Tray]
"icon"="imageres.dll,-30"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\Eject/Close CD/DVD Tray\command]
"C:\Windows\System32\Eject-Close_CD-DVD.bat" "%1"

Hello jhs, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)
I've updated the .reg files in the tutorial to include these locations as well now to help.

Ok, that's kewl. BUT, does it work for multi-drives AND can you select the drive in the right-click context menu with the "New" registry update? I like the idea of having it in the "global" context menu, awesome idea.
