Only works after Windows has loaded and is running though 
If the PC is switched on to immediately open the tray it won't help.

Because it's a very inconvenient way to have to use yor computer to have to disable bits of it.Personally I'd get my computer out of my child's reach mainly because he could get electrocuted if he keeps sticking bits of himself in it....
When mine were small it was the VCR..  So it got put up on top of the TV...and switched off when I wasn't in the room.
Being a parent is the pits sometimes because you have to be forever protecting your home from your child and your child from your home.I hated the twoesies stage because I just couldn't out think the little tykes fast enough some days..So when I offer such advice I AM remembering what it was like.

Re: CD Drawer on my PC tower
Mine was 3 years old before he developed the same fascination, with a bit of perseverance I got him to understand that if he pressed the button too many times it would break and he wouldn't be able to play Winnie the pooh colouring anymore.

Re: CD Drawer on my PC tower
Get a trayless drive or remove the eject button if you can't control the young un.

Re: CD Drawer on my PC tower
Does your power supply have a switch on the back.? Switch it off at the back so he can't get any power at all! I know this doesn't stop him doing it when in use, but its very simple.

I can control my child, i would just rather not have to keep nagging at him to leave it alone, if he couldn't open it then I wouldn't have to try and tell him, which then makes it all the more attractive to him - something he isn't allowed to do.
And it isn't realistic for me to move the tower out of his reach as there isn't really anywhere else for it to go and I have a rather new unit for my computer!!
Purenuman- hit the nail on the head with your last comment.

That's why I said there was a problem with it. You may have to email them to get the download.
