Overview:

CD/DVD drive's tray is a rather fragile thing. It's easy to break it by occasional pressure. Laptop computers are often taken from different sides, and it's easy to press the button on front of the optical button, eject its door and crash it accidentally. Thus laptop computers require special protection for their optical devices to prevent crash of their tray. Laptop CD/DVD Guard provides the simplest but still very effective way for protecting CD/DVD drive of your notebook. While designing Laptop CD/DVD Guard we have taken into account all peculiarities of CD/DVD drives being installed on laptops. Unfortunately, CD/DVD drives on laptops can be closed only manually. But they still can be locked to prevent occasional ejection of the optical drive's door. After locking the drive you can open in via Laptop CD/DVD Guard menu or using special "hot keys" (of course, you may choose what keys are the handiest ones for you). The utility will automatically unlock the drive when you open it with help of menu or hot key. Laptop CD/DVD Guard offers you all of the features of CD/DVD Door Guard Pro applicable on laptop computers. It helps you to lock the drive and prevent your small children from playing with it, locks your laptop's drive when the computer goes to sleep mode, reminds about forgotten disk inside the drive. It can show messages or play a sound when the drive is being locked and lock the drive immediately after starting Windows. Also you can customize what the utility will do when you click on its icon in tray. Laptop CD/DVD Guard helps you to save money. How? Once paid for this utility, you may use it as long as you need protecting each new laptop you would have bought. Buying Laptop CD/DVD Guard you save your money required for buying a new CD/DVD drive or repairing broken tray of the old one. Also, you save your time that will be wasted while your laptop would be under repair.
