Shortcut key to eject CD/DVD?

[Guest]

Is there a keyboard shortcut to eject a CD or DVD? I have been using Media
Center and didn't see one on there. My manual button on my DVD/CD drive
doesn't work that great. Thanks for the help.

If you click on the Computer icon on your desktop, you can right-click the
DVD/CD drive, and choose eject. In Windows Media Player, you can use CTRL +
J. Dunno about Media Center...

Hi,

No, but you should be able to right click the drive in Windows Explorer and
choose eject from there.

Isn't there a way without being in an actual program? I already new about
the right clicking on the dvd drive. I just want a simple keyboard shortcut.

A cheap multimedia keyboard usually has an Eject button.
