Open cd-rom with an icon, not by pressing button.
1. Download NIRCMD and save it anywhere on your hard disk. For ease of use, let’s suppose we have it in the folder Nirsoft on drive C. So the path to the nircmd.exe file is C:\Nirsoft\nircmd.exe.
2. Right click on any empty space on your desktop and choose New and then Shortcut.
3. Now in the Create Shortcut dialog box, you will find a location box where you will need to type the filepath and argument. Type the path to nircmd.exe. For our case it is C:\Nirsoft\nircmd.exe. Along with this, also type cdrom open J: (where J: is the drive letter for my CD-ROM drive). So the complete command to be written is C:\Nirsoft\nircmd.exe cdrom open J:.
4. Now in the next step, you will be asked to enter a name for the shortcut. Choose whatever is meaningful to you. I am calling it Open CD Tray. After you are done, press Finish. You will now see the new shortcut on your desktop.
5. Once the shortcut is created, you can move it anywhere you want, or you can simply keep it on your desktop. Double clicking it will eject your CD drive.

How to change IP in One Minute
1. Click on “Start” in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on “Run”
3. Type in “command” and hit ok
You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.
4. Type “ipconfig /release” just like that, and hit “enter”
5. Type “exit” and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on “Network Places” or “My Network Places” on your desktop.
7. Click on “properties”
You should now be on a screen with something titled “Local Area Connection”, or something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.
8. Right click on “Local Area Connection” and click “properties”
9. Double-click on the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” from the list under the “General” tab
10. Click on “Use the following IP address” under the “General” tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn’t matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press “Tab” and it should automatically fill in the “Subnet Mask” section with default numbers.
13. Hit the “Ok” button here
14. Hit the “Ok” button again
You should now be back to the “Local Area Connection” screen.
15. Right-click back on “Local Area Connection” and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the “TCP/IP” settings
17. This time, select “Obtain an IP address automatically”

19. Hit “Ok” again
20. You now have a new IP address
With a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.
P.S:
This only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address. If you plan on hacking a website with this trick be extremely careful, because if they try a little, they can trace it back.
