:
To open or close CD-ROM form VB uou need the following API:

Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias _
"mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal _
lpstrReturnString As String, ByVal uReturnLength As Long, _
ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long

Then you can open or close the cd-rom by the following code:

Public Sub OpenCD()
Dim res As Long, returnstring As String * 127
res = mciSendString("set CDAudio door open", returnstring, 127, 0)
End Sub

Public Sub CloseCD()
Dim res As Long, returnstring As String * 127
res = mciSendString("set CDAudio door closed", returnstring, 127, 0)
End Sub
'res is a Long variable

You can put those functions in a timer control to code a fun program which if loaded in the background will automatically oprn and close the CD-ROM tray.

GoodLuck.

I had that virus on my coputer for about 3 months, goes by the name of "odyian" and disguises it self as "rul32dli.exe".

if you can get source codes for those media player software you'll kind off end up with the code to open CD-Rom with a program!

p.s. i dont know!
