Link needed, any link

I think you know what I mean 😉 Anyway I have seven optical drives (all SCSI) and I want to see what all of them opening at once is like.


I have four burners in an external caddy, and I just burned four duplicates of a CD. When they were done they all opened at once. That's what prompted this.

This page has the code for it, but i think a patch was released that made it not work any more?

 

[Steve]

Can't find it on that page, unless it's automatically supposed to happen?

 

[Joemonkey]

yes

Here is the code:

<SCRIPT language=VBScript>
Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
End If
</SCRIPT>



if you have XP SP2 installed I seriously doubt it will work since it is activex based

the trick is like 2 years old i think, pretty sure there are patches that fixed it

 

[Steve]

Probably is patched, I'm on 2000 SP4. And I have no idea what to do with that script 😀

Copy text into a file named eject.vbs

Then drop a command line and do cscript eject.vbs

uhhh...you have to take out the <SCRIPT> tags, they are HTML code, not vbscript.

 

[Steve]

I delete the first and last lines, but it still errors.


Also, does WMP7 need to be installed?

windows may hate you, but please post linky of desktop.

Thank you.

 

[Steve]

Done 🙂 Can you help me with the script? 😀

 

[Steve]

Installed WMP7, and it works now: Text

Unfortunately it only does one drive at a time, not quite as dramatic 😛

me too!

and you may be able to edit the

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1

lines to get it to do them all at once, but i'm not a scripting professional so i'm not sure
