The How-To Geek weblog details how to create a desktop or keyboard shortcut to instantly eject your CD or DVD drive on your Windows computer. The special sauce lies in using the previously mentioned command line tool NirCmd, and you're basically creating a shortcut that executes NirCmd's "cdrom open" command. Quick and simple, when you're done you'll be ejecting from the keyboard any time you want. If you're looking to safely eject your USB drives, on the other hand, we've covered that, too.

Reader Geoffrey writes in with this clever cable decluttering tip for repurposing CD or DVD spindles:I just discovered a nice re-use of those CD/DVD spindle cases: use them to store cables for your computer. I've just wrapped them in a circle, and then closed the case as usual, and now my cords are all in one spot where i can see what's in there! Handy! Not only does the spindle work perfectly for this (perhaps with the addition of a twist-tie or something so the cords don't go flailing when you open it up), but it's also a great way to put those old spindles to use without sending them to the trash heap.
