Preventing Automatic Eject & Launching Muliple Programs From A Single Shortcut
Hi!
I have a couple unrelated questions (well, they are both related to my computer). First, I just put together a new machine, and I used the Antec Sonata case (highly recommended, it's great!). The front of the case has a door covering the CD-ROM bays. I'm always cautious about closing the door when I have a disc in one of the drives because I am concerned about them being auto-ejected without being able to physically open. I know most programs have a check box to "eject cd when finished writing", etc., but is there a way to just disallow this thru Windows? I figure with so many cases out now with enclosed CD-ROM's someone else may have figured this out. I've done some research myself but I haven't come up with any answers. Second, how do I set up a single shortcut to launch 2 programs? Additionally, I would also need it to have a delay between launching the first and the second. I want to use SpamPal to filter my email, but it seems like a waste to leave it running all the time. Ideally, I'd like my Outlook shortcut to launch SpamPal, wait 5 seconds or so for it to load, and then launch Outlook. Nothing incredibly important here, but if anyone has any tips I would appreciate it. Thanks!! |
