[RossMAN]

If you're using a laptop with an optical drive, please go to this web site does your optical drive automatically open?

 

[Chiboy]

I dunno what it was, but it scared the spunky out of me.

My fingers weren't near the eject button, so I went back to the website and it happened again!

 

[notfred]

Uh, you been under a rock or something?

It's not laptop-specific, it works on any windows box.

 

[conjur]

heh...there was a little .EXE that made the email rounds years ago called cupholder or something like that. You ran it and the CD tray ejected.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Its a simple little script.
Very cool though

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--
MsgBox "This opens the CD-Rom(s) on windows boxen"
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>

 

[Bootprint]

Damn, it just spill my hot coffee on my lap. I'm sueing

 

[dakels]

heh good one... that kinda freaked me out as it hit my leg that was right in front of the drive. lol

no I mean it hit me really hard and I think I have bruising and gonna sue you now for 3 meeelion dollars

 

"experts" eh.

 

[kermalou]

[The Stigenator]

sweet..

but doest that mean its now a security risk?

Browsers arent supposed to see a local drive (remember the old unicode // deal)

 

[syberscott]

Yet another reason NOT to get a case with a door.

I used to never think twice about running an attachment in my emails. I got the cupholder one about 20 times IIRC... damn kids why do they have to get so smart.

a friend once told me about a viruse he wrote that opened and closed any optical devices in an endless loop. I almost died laughing.

If your optical drives open, your security settings aren't high enough.

 

[MrYogi]
