What, if any command, would I use to detect if a disc is in the CD or DVD drive? I wish to add to my script some commands that only run if there is a disc in the drive. Or is there a work around perhaps?

Hi,
See if the old DOS trick of using NUL works:
IfFileExists>e:\NUL,exists
Assuming e: is your CDROM drive.

Since Windows XP has somewhat abandoned DOS, do you think it'll still work? Some of the DOS stuff is handled a lot differently than Win9x. I'll try it when I get home.
