Add "INSERT" Option in CD Drive Context Menu ! So guys!

Adding "Insert" Option In your CD/DVD Rom drive's Context Menu.
(You can bring the context menu by right clicking the optical drive)

Just copy the "cdeject.dll" file to the system drive in the following folder :\Windows\System32
(expl: C:\Windows\Sysytem32. Feel free to change the drive letter acoding to your machine config)

Now open the notepad and copy the following ::-->

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}"

Save it as .REG extension.
(Expl:- cdeject.reg or anything.reg)

Now click it.....and it ask you for permission to add the information to the registry.....Click yes
