If you use your CD-ROM drive more often than once a week, you might have already noticed that ejecting CDs through My Computer or Windows Explorer is neither comfortable nor quick. Opening and closing your CD-ROM manually is also difficult, especially when the case stands on the floor or in other hard-to-reach place.

HotKey CD-Eject is a compact tool that lets you eject CDs with a hotkey combination or a double-click on the program icon. The keystroke combination is customizable and can be changed at any time. The tool shows its presence in the system tray, changing the icon's color depending on whether the CD-ROM contains a CD or not. The tool works with multiple CD-ROM drives, letting you assign different hotkeys for different drives, and can load on startup.

HotKey CD-Eject features include:

* Ejecting and closing CD-ROM with a hotkey combination or a double-click on its icon
* Working with multiple CD-ROM drives, assigning a personal hotkey combination to each drive
* Changing icon color depending on whether the drive is full or empty
* Ability to load itself on startup
* Ability to set just about any hotkey combination to suit your needs: from as simple as F3 to as complex as Ctrl + Alt + Shift + 9
* Small icon in the tray; low system resources requirement
