Next mission is for the hta when opened to HOLD SHIFT DOWN until the HTA is closed as i dont want any cd's autoloading (my hta is a software installer and i only want the cd's installed when requested by the listbox.

I know this can be done in the registry but that requires a reboot to work. I dont mine if it just send the shift command when a cd is inserted but during the period the app is opened there will be muliple cd's inserted.

I have tried various things all to no effect any pointers in the right direction?

I tried playing with this yesterday but had no luck.

I tried something like this

Dim objFSO : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim objCD : Set objCD = objFSO.GetDrive("D:\")

Do While Not objCD.IsReady
WScript.Sleep 500
Loop

The problem with this is that I couldn't figure out how to hold the shift long enough for it to prevent the CD from loading.

The only way i could find was to change the registry rebootboot and then do the same on exit it works so thats fine.
