Eject CD DVD from right click context menu in Windows 7

Eject CD DVD from right click context menu or just by a shortcut in Windows 7. No software installation is required. With a simple vbs script, we will use the Windows Media Player’s eject function to eject CD DVD or blue ray disk.

Here is how the option eject CD DVD from right click context menu in Windows 7 will look like:

We will need to create a vbs file, an icon and a registry file to integrate it to the right click menu.

Creating the vbs file to Eject CD DVD or blu ray disk

We need a vbs file to Eject CD DVD or blue ray; you can eject CD DVD just by double clicking it.

Open Notepad. Write the following things for Eject CD DVD:

Set oWMP = CreateObject(“WMPlayer.OCX.7” )
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count – 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ‘ cdrom
End If

Set oWMP = Nothing
Set colCDROMs = Nothing

Save the file as eject.vbs for the example above and do not forget to change the file type from text to All files from drop down menu in Notepad before saving it. Obviously, you can save with any name you like, but you have to change the name in registry file in second step as well.

Double click to test the file. It should eject the CD / DVD drive.

For those who want Eject CD DVD option in Windows 7 right click context menu; need to create a registry file. Please do not forget to place the batch file in C drive (both for the shortcut to Eject CD DVD and right click menu).

This will add the functionality to get a working Eject CD DVD option with custom icon from right click context menu. Open Notepad, copy paste the following and modify as per your need:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTLibraryFolderbackgroundshellEject]
“Icon”=”C:DVD Drive.ico”
“Position”=”Bottom”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTLibraryFolderbackgroundshellEjectcommand]
@=”Wscript.exe “C:eject.vbs“”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryBackgroundshellEject]
“Icon”=”C:DVD Drive.ico”
“Position”=”Bottom”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryBackgroundshellEjectcommand]
@=”Wscript.exe “C:eject.vbs“”

The blue text is the name you want to see in your right click menu. You name it as you like.

The orange text determines the position of the menu. You can use Top, Middle instead of Bottom.

The red text dictates the name and location of the vbs file.

The green text is the location of the icon.

Save the file as Eject CD DVD.reg and do not forget to change the file type from text to All files from drop down menu in Notepad before saving it. Name does not matter here at all. You can save as you like.

Now, double click the reg file and accept the security warnings and you will see the Eject option in right click context menu when clicked on a folder or any empty place inside folder or Windows 7 desktop.

Add a minus sign before the H starts after the third bracket; like [-HKEY_CLASSES…. to all where there is HKEY and save it (with some good name) as reg file and run it. It will break the association; so the Eject CD DVD option will disappear from right click context menu.

Obviously, you might delete the bat files manually too.
