CD Drawer on my PC tower
 

Is there any way i can disable this from being opened by the button on the actual pc tower? it is just that my little boy keeps pressing it and i am scared he is going to snap it off!!

Short of glueing it up and using your operating system (eject button in Windows Media Player for example) to open/close it, there's no way of doing this that I'm aware of.

A couple of links that may be helpful. The first has a problem but you may be able to follow up to get the download:

Could you not just sellotape a rectangle of card over the cd-rom to hide the interesting little button?

Errr...Just move your PC tower up on to a table out of your childs reach.

Tell him if he breaks it he pays for it..no more sweeties until he is 18. :D

He is only two, and i can't move my tower as there is nowhere else for it to go! If the computer is switched off he turns it on so he can ram all kinds of things into the cd drawer. I thought there might be a way as i recently changed a setting in my control panel somewhere that was 'Do Nothing' when the power button was pressed when the PC is on..........

Then move your PC into another room and place a bolt high up on the door or put a toddler gate across the door.

And find him his own wonderful interactive toy that flashes and beeps and has moving parts...to distract him. ;)

Buy a cabinet for the PC?

Re: CD Drawer on my PC tower
 

Thanks for all your advice but i was just hoping there might be a setting somewhere on my computer! Never mind i am sure he will get bored of it soon enough.

Mine is more interested in the button on the printer that produces the test page with a racing car on it.
again
and again
and again

I keep telling him each time he does it thats 10p out of his university fund but he doesn't seem to care.

Anyway you should at least be able to tell him that it is bad to put stuff in there, even if he presses the button.
