I keep doing it. It drives me mad. Whenever I pick up my notebook I do it.

If you do it, say 'aye', and if you don't, say 'eh?'

Put the screw in that shipped with the system and it will keep it from being accidently ejected.

Colt, I think he meant the dvd disc tray, not the drive itself. If he meant the entire drive, I'd have to join the "ehs"... but as for the tray, I accidentally hit the eject button almost daily.

eh? I've done it once.... I actually have the reverse problem, can't find the *%#$&@! button when I want to eject the tray

This would actually make a good poll topic, do you mind if I add a poll to the top of this WilliamG?

I'm one of those that can't find the dang eject button when I need it...that's why i keep whining to Dell about including BIOS functionality for Fn+F10 as i can't stand Quickset...

I don't like it either, it eats up important resources, and the only function it serves that other programs can't do more efficiently (eg: SpeedswitchXP) is the keyboard shortcuts. So I don't have it installed either, and put up with manual CD tray release, etc...
That my opinion anyway.
