Product Description

This program will open or close the CD-ROM drive then launch a specified program. For example, you can setup this program so that every time you launch Notepad.exe your CD-ROM drive would open as well. For a better example, just think of a program you use all of the time that requires a CD. Now think how convienent it would be if when you launched that program, it opened your CD-ROM for you? That is what Open/Close CD was created for, a perfect utility.

Open/Close CD supports multiple CD drive letters via the command line. Just add the drive letter (ex. d) on the command line to specifiy the cd-rom to send the command to.
