If you double click on your cdrom-player in vista it opens your cdrom drive.
Is there anyway to prevent it from doing that? it's really irritating...

that when you try to access the optical drive that if no disk is present
then you would want the opportunity to insert one.
nothing you can do apparently.

lol you fail at searching.
The workaround to turn off Windows Vista CD or DVD drive auto eject function is to disable built-in CD/DVD burning feature in Windows Vista. Once the built-in CD/DVD burning function is turned off, Windows Vista will assume the CD/DVD burner/writer has only CD-ROM or DVD-ROM features, and thus will not open the CD/DVD drive tray automatically.
To disable Windows Vista built-in CD burning function, download the DisableEnableCDBurning.zip file, and run the DisableCDBurning.reg to merge its value to registry to disable the CD/DVD burning feature in Vista. To revert and re-enable auto eject feature, execute the other file, EnableCDBurning.reg. More detailed description and ways to disable CD burning feature can be read here.
