CD/DVD Drive Locker

http://www.softbureau.com/

If you have small children in your family, then you are probably
familiar with the situation in which straight after they learn to move
around independently, they begin to touch everything that they came
across.

In particular, children like to open and close the CD/DVD drive on the
computer, and press the Reset button.

The CD/DVD Drive Locker helps to temporary turn the CD/DVD ROM drive
off, and so pressing on the CD/DVD drive’s buttons doesn’t lead to the
CD/DVD drive being ejected.

CD/DVD Drive Locker Requirements

* Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista
* 523 MHz Pentium or better
* 10 MB free hard drive space

installation of software, hardware, or configuration changes.

InstallRite 2.5

InstallRite (which includes all the features of InstallWatch) provides
“application cloning” as opposed to “disk cloning”, simplifying
software distribution.
