How to disable CD Drive auto eject

Most of the people have problems due to their CD Drive eject button as it is very sensitive and is triggered very easily due to it's poitioning. It gets triggered often while putting it in a bag, carrying it from one room to another.

I have found a program which is freely available which locks the CD Drive eject button and retains it even after sleep.

 It is freely available at http://sourceforge.net/p/lockcd/wiki/Home/




Words from the developer

LockCD program disables CD-ROM's eject button. It runs in the system tray and identifies itself by a red icon, which drops a menu on the right mouse click or shows Main UI on the left click. LockCD can also be accessed from the Explorer Context Menu by right-clicking on the CD-ROM icon.
This application was written after giving up on finding a properly functioning software that would lock CD-ROM's eject button on my Lenovo T520 laptop, which i hit quite frequently. The main problem with the software available on the internet is that it doesn't retain the lock state after Sleep/Hibernation/Resume.
This application is based on .Net 4.0 framework, so make sure its runtime is installed on your PC.
