NirCmd - A small system utility program
The Story: Hello friends..!! For the past few days I got quite addicted to programming. I planned to write a C program for controlling computer hardware. As I feel lazy to press the button for opening DVD drive, I thought of writing a program that will open/close DVD drive on execution. I browsed the internet for references and couldn't find what I needed exactly. But later I found a program 'nircmd' that can be used control the DVD drive. Nircmd is a small command line program that doesn't use any user interface. All is done by creating shortcut to it. It is also useful for various other purposes. How to use? Download the file, copy nircmd.exe to ' C:\Users\<USER-NAME>\bin' for Windows 7 users ' C:\Documents and Settings\ <USER-NAME> \bin ' for Windows XP users If there is no 'bin' folder, create one. Then create a shortcut for opening DVD drive, Enter the path C:\Users\<USER-NAME>\bin\nircmd.exe ...
