Can we have a shortcut for ejecting the CD via keyboard & taking the tray back into the rom as Mac offers it, its already there by right clicking on CD ikon>eject.
I want with the keyboard.

@ranjan2001 dont tell me you dont have a "Multimedia Keyborad".

I hate multimedia keyboards , thats why its always irritating for me to find a proper (default) layout standard keyboard these days
. I dont like the oversized MM keyboards with 20 extra buttons which makes it look like a spaceship. Point is MM keyboard is not a necessary part of cool PC.

Well I have it for sure but as said here, I dont really like that oversized keyboard, so I have bough another silicon rubber keyboard but this one has only 3 extra keys for power/sleep/wakeup.@ranjan2001 dont tell me you dont have a "Multimedia Keyborad".

Sound I control from creative speakers & winamp has shortcut keys already for the rest, the only thing I miss is inset Cd command.
This sound gud but shareware, still thanks for posting it.
Thanks that should do the job perfectly, let me try this & report back.
Which Mac are you talking about?ranjan2001 said:
All the latest models have slot-loading drives that require you to push the CD halfway into the drive before it automatically sucks it in. The eject button then spits the disc out.
Older macs did have tray drives though. Maybe you are talking about the iMac G5 or the Mac Pro.

U CREATE UR OWN VB APP and store in aceesories and assign a shortcut
the app shouldn't be visible and terminate after ejecting/shutting
use api in vb

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim str As String * 3
Dim i As Byte
i = 1
str = "a:\"
Do Until GetDriveType(str) = 5
i = i + 1
Mid(str, 1, 1) = Chr(Asc(str) + i)
Loop
mciSendString "open " + str + " Type cdaudio alias cdr wait shareable", vbNullString, 0, 0
mciSendString "set cdr door open", vbNullString, 0, 0
mciSendString "set cdr door closed", vbNullString, 0, 0
mciSendString "close cdr", vbNullString, 0, 0
End Sub
This is what I used to do to achieve what you asked:
Download this utility: nircmd (just a few kBs)
Create a shortcut as "path/nircmd.exe cdrom open x:" (x=drive letter)
Put it in your start menu. Assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
Similary, for injecting, create another one as "path/nircmd.exe cdrom close x:".

better still, use ACTIVE KEYS. it has all what you want to have. am using it., and no software can ever match the functionality provided by this little tool.
