and close (i.e.press the o/c 'button')the cd tray few times in a row?

What do you mean by "sfw"?

In spite of the Subject line, your question has nothing
to do with "Advanced" or "Task Scheduler". You
appear to be after a utility that can open and close
the CD tray. You could run a batch file like so:

@echo off
eject D:
eject D: /L
eject D:
eject D: /L
eject D:
eject D: /L

Eject.exe is freeware written WebGeek.
 
Use a VBS script.

Save as something.vbs Change the drive letter to the appropriate letter.


Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set MyComp=objShell.NameSpace(17)
Set CD=MyComp.ParseName("D:\")
Set Context=CD.Verbs
CD.InvokeVerb "E&ject"

I have one for D and E. Just for fun. It's almost as quick to reach down
and press the buttons on each drive.

Ken,
I guess he is meaning- software.

You're probabably right, but "sfw" certainly isn't a standard abbreviation
for "software." Moreover, "software" is a mass noun, not a count noun, so
one can't correctly speak of "*a* software" the way one could say "*a*
program."

Certainly I'm aware that many people use the word improperly as a count noun
and say "a software," but with the combination of the "a" and the unusual
abbreviation, I, for one, didn't know what he meant.
 
I thought that they meant Single Female White. ;-)
