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” option 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:
2.) Now download following zip file, extract it and then run the .REG file:
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 button at your CD/DVD drive each time.

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.
