Disable Auto-Eject Behavior

To disable the auto eject behavior of disk drive (when clicking on the drive in the Windows explorer), you can disable the built-in CD burning settings in Windows by adding/modifying the following registry entry:

  • [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoCDBurning"=dword:00000001 
To take effect, you have to log off and then log in again.
