Windows 10: How do I open the CD Tray in Windows 10?

The answer for Windows 7 does not work as Windows 10 does not have a "computer" link to access after hitting the Start button. Thank you.

CD tray will not open

Short of buying a new laptop, is there a way to fix this problem?

You have several options:

• Straighten a paper clip, then push it into the small hole in the CD tray drawer. This will open the tray.
• Create a shortcut like this one:
  nircmdc.exe cdrom open F:. NirCmd is freely downloadable.
• Purchase a new CD tray from the distributor. They are easy to replace.
• Replace the laptop.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
