I’m just thinking of this handy tools and came up with this idea. You know that there is Eject options in cd/dvd context menu when you right click.I think you also thinking what i have, Insert option in cd/dvd context menu. With this you can insert ejected drive.

Here is the step-by-step procedure:

Add ‘Insert’ Option To CD/DVD Drive Context Menu

1. Download the file cdeject.zip from
http://www.ashesh.com.np/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/cdeject.zip, extract it and copy the DLL file to the
C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder
(to open this folder directly go to run and copy/paste this %windir%\System32 and press ok.

2.Now copy the following code into Notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{02A07E80-EFA2-11D4-8306-A7EBD4C50C7C}]
@=”CDEject Context Menu Shell Extension”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{02A07E80-EFA2-11D4-8306-A7EBD4C50C7C}\InprocServer32]
@=”C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cdeject.dll”
“ThreadingModel”=”Apartment”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}]
@=”{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}”
3. Save the file with any name you want, but the
extension should be .reg.

4. Run the file and it will ask for permission.
Grant it.

5.Now when you right click in cd/dvd drive you’ll get the Insert option in context menu.
