Hello Al, I understand your concern about the DVD tray automatically opening when using the burning software on Windows 7. This issue can be quite inconvenient and potentially lead to damage to the tray if it keeps opening unexpectedly. One common reason for such behavior is a setting within the burning software or the operating system that triggers the DVD tray to open. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Check Software Settings:
   • Open the burning software you are using and look for any settings related to the DVD tray behavior. There might be an option to disable the automatic opening of the tray.
   []Update Software:
   • Make sure that your burning software is up to date. Sometimes, software updates include bug fixes that address issues like this.
   []Check Windows Settings:
   • Navigate to the Control Panel in Windows 7 and open the "AutoPlay" settings. Verify if there are any settings related to the behavior of the DVD drive when discs are inserted.
   []Update Drivers:
   • Ensure that the drivers for your DVD drive are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause unexpected behavior.
   []Disable Auto Eject:
   • You can try disabling the auto eject feature through the Windows Registry. Please be cautious when editing the registry.

Steps to Disable Auto Eject via Registry:​

• Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog.
• Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
• Navigate to the following key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cdrom

• Locate the entry named AutoEject and set its value to 0 to disable auto ejection.
• Close the Registry Editor and restart your PC for changes to take effect.
