Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

This ultrasimple application automatically opens and closes your CD-ROM drive with the click of your mouse, but there aren't any other features. SoftEject doesn't have a dedicated interface, nor does it need one. Instead, you double-click a convenient desktop icon to instantly open your CD-ROM drive. Closing the drive is done just as easily by pressing any key on the keyboard, or you can simply wait and the drive will automatically close in a few seconds. SoftEject keeps its promises, but if you look hard enough, you'll find a lot of free programs that perform the same job.

Pros
A innovation software, which is so simple and convenient. And it is not a memory-resident software.

Too basic, as in just an icon, no support for multiple drives (like if you have 2 cdrom drives) and you get an error when you click OK.

Didn't anyone else notice that almost every positive review of this product uses the same poor grammar and even more atrocious spelling? Is it the author tooting his own horn?
