Lock CD/DVD Drive?
I'd like to disable the button on my CD/DVD drive so my toddler doesn't press
it, open the drive, and then snap the drawer off. Instead of using the button to open the drawer, I'd have to use the eject function on the screen (luckily the little terror can't read yet so he wouldn't be able to do this). Does anyone know if this is possible to do, and if so, how? |

Lock CD/DVD Drive?
Hi,
No way to do that beyond physically damaging the drive. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Cleary" wrote in message ...

Lock CD/DVD Drive?
Which, not 5 minutes ago, my toddler managed to do.
Is there an emoticon for someone's head exploding? Thanks anyway.

Lock CD/DVD Drive?
:-@
Kids will be kids, and drives are at least cheap and easy to install nowadays. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Cleary" wrote in message ...
