    Is there anyway to disable the button and use a keyboard button to open it? Like on a mac.

    I'm always opening the tray when its on my lap...

    Try Toddler keys. Though I'm not sure if it'll work on Vista.

    I'm afraid to damage the drive if I leave it slightly open. It happens a lot while I'm using it in my car. I have put a small stripe of tape around button and it does the job.
