Add Insert Option in CD/DVD Drive Context Menu




In Windows, if we right-click on CD/DVD drives, we get an option to “Eject” the tray but we don’t get option to “Insert” the tray. In this tutorial, I’ll tell you a trick to add “Insert” optionĀ  in CD/DVD drives context menu.

Here is the step-by-step procedure:

1.) Download following zip file, extract it and copy the DLL file to “%windir%\System32” folder:

cdeject.zip

2.) Now download following zip file, extract it and then run the .REG file:

insert_reg.zip

That’s it. Now you’ll get an extra option “Insert” in CD/DVD drives context menu, which will make the life easier and you’ll not have to press the insert buttonĀ  at your CD/DVD drive each time.

  5. ^^ haha. I always remember your request but can’t fulfill it atm. :razz:

  6. Cannot get it to work on Vista Ultimate X64 is there a way?

  7. ^^ Sorry but its not compatible.

  8. Thanks for the response VG. Do you know of another way?

  9. ^^ I can’t remember but there is a software for ISO files which also adds such option in context menu.

  10. ya……..
    you are the bosssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

    i m from BANGLADESH.
    what is your country BOSSSSSSSSS????????

  11. ^^ I’m from India. ;)

  12. Is it possible to position this right below the “Eject” command in the context menu?

  13. ^^ Not possible.

  14. Hi! I have Vista x64 and you mentioned that this is not supported on it. I found another tool called nircmd (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html) that allows the user to close the drive, even on Vista x64. Here is the command that is needed:
    nircmd.exe cdrom close d:

    Unfortunately, I am not familiar with adding items to the Explorer context menu and I didn’t understand what the location you specified in your reg file indicated. Do you know how we can incorporate this command into the context menu of the DVD drive?

    Thanks.

  15. sorry it fails in xp3
    please help

  16. ^^ It works. Pls follow all instructions.
