1. Download the attached file (download it from source link, if you can't download it here), extract it and copy the DLL file to "%windir%\System32" folder.

2. Copy following code in notepad:

Code:
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\ContextMenuHandlers\{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}]
@="{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}"
3. Save the file with any name but the extension must be .REG

4.
Now run the file, it'll ask your permission, accept it.

5.
Now you'll get an Insert option in the CD Drive context menu.

@Vishal Cant we have eject/insert as combine(single) item in menu
Vishal Gupta
Sep 10, 2006 at 1:25 AM
Actually the work is being done by the DLL file itself.
If u want to change the working, then u'll hv to decompile the DLL file, change its coding and then recompile it again :)

PS: If u see more carefully, then when we hv some CD in the drive, the "Insert" option is automatically changed to "Eject".

Thanks for the creator Vishal that we are going to have this option.

@ Vishal Gupta

I tried all u told but there was a problem. After complete procedure (registering dll file) , when I click for eject, CD tray opens & context menu item 'Eject' changes to 'Load' but nothing happens when I click on it.

Then I googled for that software 'CD Eject' but I didn't found it. Then I downloaded 'Virtual Clone Drive' & that's working fine means it opens & closes CD tray. But I like the previous option vry much i.e. registering the dll file.
Plz send tell me the link from which can I download that software 'CD Eject'. Also give a solution for dll file method.

wth :mad:

Is there any similarity between this tut and the page u mentioned? :confused:

I'm now fed up guys, in stead of appreciating the work, u posted just a page, which also contains a method to add an option like my method, but did u take ur time and look carefully what that whole method does?

Its totally different from my method!

And pls! If its so difficult for ppl to digest my tutorial and if they can't see ppl appreciating my work, then I think I should stop posting tuts in future :eek:

coz I always thought of sharing the information, which I know and thats why I post my tut, whenever I find something new. And I'll never like to post anything which was copied from somewhere else!

Do u think that if some1 copy a tut from other site and post it here, he'll be not caught? there r several threads, which were closed bcoz the author didnt mention the credit/source!

Its really strange and very sad to see that some ppl never like to appreciate some1 work but what they like, just post such things! :evil:

Run replacer..A black screen appears now drag the ddl file which u want to replace which is in system32 directory..Next drag the dll file which have modified into the black screen...It gets replaced by the original dll file with ur modified ddl ..ANd u can see the effect after a system restart:)

Sep 22, 2006 at 12:35 PM
I think you are saving it as filename.reg.txt . The .txt extension is hidden.

>Goto Tools
>Folder Options
>View
>Uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.

Click OK.

They you will see the full file name. Then rename and remove the .txt extension and save it as filename.reg.

People using Windows ME, 98 have Regedit4. Use:-
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{02A07E80-EFA2-11D4-8306-A7EBD4C50C7C}]

Vishal i am getting the same problem

Ur trick is gr8 , Now ADD something to remove previous 'Eject' button
Vishal Gupta
Oct 2, 2006 at 11:27 AM
Its not possible!

Reason:

One "Eject" Option is the default option, If u reamove this option, then u'll not get "Eject" option all the time. Coz the other "Eject" option conly comes, when we insert a CD/DVD in the tray, otherwise it remains "Insert".

So suppose, u want to eject the drive and u hv removed the "Eject" option, then how would u eject the drive without using the button on the drive? :)

Hey Vishal. Sorry but after replying, I never opened this thread so I was not knowing about it.
Don't mind friend, I was just saying that ur method doesn't work on my system. Maybe some prob with my optical drive or system, since I have installed CD-Eject & still the result is same.

Don't mind suchthings. Many of us knows that u have done it urself. U have posted many tutes & hacks which proves ur hard work. If no one will b bad the who will called u good? I always try to post/reply in a better way but all looks like stupid posts/reply. (I know that) Then also I m happy coz

Oh Great Registry Hacker!! :D I tried out your method and its great!! I would like to know one thing. Is there a method to put the Insert option, just below Eject? That would be much easier wouldn't it? I had read some registry hacks where you can position text doing the same function where we want in the pop-up when we right-click. In case you come to know, please do let us know. I will also be on a look out for that ;)

But there is no way to re-arrange the option in the menu coz windows automatically arrange these options ;)
Yes! u can re-arrange the default options by using Resource Hacker but bcoz we added this "Insert" option manually so there is no way to place it acc. to our requirements :D

^^ I can't understand what r u talking about :(

@phreak0utt
U can open any file, like Shell32.dll in resource hacker and then in MENU, u can just move the lines up/down acc. to ur requirements ;)
e.g., if u want to move Refresh above Arrange Icons, then just open that particular menu of Shell32.dll and cut the "Refresh" line and paste it above of "Arrange Icons" line :)

:evil: 1-the vista theme which i downloaded from your thread there is problem occuring with it is that whenever i applied the theme as current theme it just there as the system is on and the moment i restart my system it disappear and the default theme is automatically applied,in the properties>>display properties>>appearence-all the options are blanks,no theme preview so tell what the hell wrong with my system and plz tell me the way to manage and solve this problem bro.
2-second thing i wanna ask you is how to disable the user/password window which appear during login the system everytime,i want to switch it off permanently.
3-in the run when i put control user 2 so it runs but the adminstration box does not appear why?
Vishal Gupta
Dec 28, 2006 at 12:06 AM
1.) Try to patch uxtheme.dll file, run the UXTheme Patcher.
2.) Type control userpasswords2 in RUN dialog box, now uncheck the option users must enter usernames & password to use thic computer.
3.) Administrator account is hidden by default.

Its working fine in my Vista Ultimate. :)

Just download the file, extract it and u'll get the DLL file. Copy the file to %windir%\System32 folder. After it copy the registry file contents from the first post and paste them in notepad. Save the file with "vishal.reg" (including the quotes). Now run the file and it'll ask ur permission and then will give u a message that it was successfully merged into registry. Thats it.

Right click, open with and go to your system32 folder and search regedit and click it. That's it... Very, very simple way.

Thanks for this very useful tweak.
But one problem. There are 2 ejects in the menu. The Eject that's there at the bottom is the one that was already there.The one at the top is the new Eject/Insert. How can I get rid of the old eject option?

Yes Sir,
The trick definitely worked.

But when I tried to use the same trick on my Windows XP 64 Professional,
it did not worked.
I tried it with system 32 folder,then in SysWOW64 folder & finally in both,but the trickk did not worked.

My guess is the dll file was not for win 64 xp.
Can u give me a dll that will work on win 64 xp professional?

edit the reg file also ;)
you are creating entry in this path (C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cdeject.dll) so how will it take man

why are you not making the installer for this:eek:

A generic command that will work with all versions of windows installed on any drives with custom folder names is:

run:

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\cdeject.dll
