Open CD-ROM Drive with VBScript

Must resist the temptation. Although Phoenix did crash right after I jumped back here.

Coincidence? Most likely. It is, after all, Phoenix.

Just opened in IE - funny. And even funnier when you have multiple CD-ROM drives.

Screeek. Screeeeeek. Screeeeeeek.

"Whoa."

Nice timing, man, just before April Fool's Day. Now we know the "wacky hijinks" to expect on everyone's sites.

This would scare the bejeezus out of me if I wasn't expecting it! Awesome.
I second that multiple drive comment, great! :)

hahaha, I love it. I'm having a hard time resisting putting into my header.php. Maybe if I did that I could *finally* get my wife to stop using IE. Apparently tabbed browsing, mouse gestures and standars compliance isn't enough to get her to change... =)

Tell you what, roXet-honey, if you will copy all my bookmarks over to Mozilla, I will personally uninstall IE myself. :-)

Yah - this would especially hilarious if you were halfway through burning the last CD on the spindle. Grrrr. :-)

How would you go about making that a function invoked
by a form button..?

gesikah when u install mozilla or phoenix the ie bookmarks are automatically imported into mozilla or phoenix!!

heres the javascript version in case anyones interested (wont work in netscape/mozilla/phoenix though will work in IE)

<script language="javascript">
<!--
var oWMP = new ActiveXObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7");
var colCDROMS = oWMP.cdromCollection;
if (colCDROMS.Count >= 1)
for (i = 0 ; i colCDROMS.Item(i).Eject();
-->
</script>

Dosn't work with MSIE 5 here. Wait, do I need to have this awkward WMP7 installed? Who does that, anyway? :P

Very Good!

Send this to e-mail heh

This is so cool!!! you guys have anything else like that?

does n e one know how to get it to work in an e-mail

Why not add this to a custom folder view in Windows 2000 (or similar). Folder views are created in HTML and you can add this code - Browse via the My Computer icon then select View > Customise this folder > Next > Next ... then check the "I want to edit" tickbox and you can then play with the code.

to do that you would just go:

STUPID HTML ;)

to do that you would just go:

<!-- CODE -->

<script language="VBScript">
<!--
public function open_cd()
' code to open CD drive
end function
-->
</script>

<input type="button" value="Open my cd drive" onClick="open_cd();"></input>

<!-- /CODE -->

Is there a code i can put on my site that will close the cd-rom drive?

Heh, would be nice to insert that into the corporate e-mail signature (for those fools who sends HTML e-mails).

Anyone know if there is a VB or JS command to close the cd tray? I am thinking with some backround music and a timeout pause, we could ge it to go to the music. let me know! cstanley@accessus.net

How to close the CDROM?

mmm know how 2 do that in ASP.net
but how come that code doesnt work for wmp9

Does anyone know the keyboard shortcut to open the CD ROM drive? I knew it once upon a time, but I can't figure it out anymore or find it online.

Thanks

could you tell me how to
inject a cdrom that has ejected already.
in the vbscript language considered above.

thankyou

Hello

are there any more scripts like these,
shut down or what ever!!

Shut down, yes you can:

[button onclick='CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShutdownWindows']Shutdown[/button]

but it gives a securety alert popup (of course)

anyway, i think you could use about any vb code (except for api calls) as long as the computer that executes the schript has installed the dll's/ ocx'es that were used.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--
Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
do
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
loop
End If
-->
</SCRIPT>

Err...I think i'll have lots of laughs with this & autorun.inf ;)

I can't close it again by opening it. Will someone help me out here? :)

Heh. Way ta go, Microsoft! :)

is there any HTML (not VB script or java) that can:

shut down all running programs/applications,
shut down computer altogether,
or give the user a fright with a blue screen failure?

any html coding on these areas would be grately appreciated!

luv it ive been looking for ages 4 a script dat does dat!! well done

very nice

vey good

nice script people lol i put it on my site

hello,
can you close the cd drive whit an html code?

I can't get it to work in an email. (most email software doesn't do scripts for security)

Also, I think that only some CD drives support automatic closing.

Cool, but it would be better if the cd draw closed as well....any suggestions??

I like the one line of code that will crash IE completely, <input type crash>. This will also crash windows explorer if you are shown previews.

This simple HTML code shutdown IE and gives a error message:

[input type crash]

("crash" can be any word you want)

How do you protect yourself from this. Cuz you never know what malicious script can be there.

Cool Code!
How do you close it?

Dose anyone know a way to shut down the computer WITH OUT A BUTTON? Like the CDrom one were it does it automatically when the page loads...

you can close the cd drive by callin eject consecutively

If you want to close the CD tray after it's open, just repeat the code, ie:




Set wmp = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7")

Set cdroms = wmp.cdromCollection



If cdroms.Count >= 1 then



For i = 0 to cdroms.Count - 1

cdroms.Item(i).Eject

Next



For i = 0 to cdroms.Count - 1

cdroms.Item(i).Eject

Next



End If

Where abouts do i place this script?
