DiskEject

DiskEject is a very simple utility that accomplishes a common purpose: that of ejecting the CD / DVD discs inserted inside dedicated drives at the expense of a mouse click.

Despite rising in an overpopulated software category, DiskEject has a couple of advantages over its competitors, like ease of use, portability, speed and efficiency. Whether the disc tray becomes unresponsive to your manual commands or Windows cannot eject the discs using the traditional approach, DiskEject is the answer to both of these scenarios.

It comes inside a very lightweight archive that doesn’t need installation, which translates into the fact that DiskEject is a portable program. Besides spearing you the time you’d be spending on an deployment process, this application needs a simple double-click to get things started. On top of that, it doesn’t write to the registry, thereby it is minimally invasive.

Once you initiate the program, it becomes active inside the tray area of Windows, from where you can manage its functions. There’s no user interface to the program, but this should not be regarded as a downside, because everything you need is in the program’s menu.

In order to trigger it, just right-click the system tray icon, at which point a control panel is revealed. Here, you’ll notice options for ejecting the disc that is currently sitting in the CD / DVD drive or for performing an eject operation of all discs if more than one drive is present on the computer.

As such, DiskEject is not limited to ejecting one single disc, as most similar utilities are. It’s easy to use, comfortable to work with and does its job impeccably.
