There is a simple and easy way to open/close the CD/DVD in Windows. The code I will be writing is a C++ code. It uses a simple API function implemented in winmm.dll (The windows MCI API DLL). In order to achieve our goal, we are going to use the mciSendCommand function.
First you need to include mmsystem.h in your code and you also need to link with Winmm.lib
Next we need to open the CD/DVD device. We do this using the following:

MCI_OPEN_PARMS MCIopen;
ZeroMemory(&MCIopen, sizeof(MCI_OPEN_PARMS));
MCIopen.lpstrDeviceType = (LPCSTR) MCI_DEVTYPE_CD_AUDIO;
MCIopen.lpstrElementName = drive;

DWORD flags = MCI_OPEN_TYPE | MCI_OPEN_TYPE_ID;
mciSendCommand(0, MCI_OPEN, flags, (DWORD) &MCIopen);

the drive is a char * of the drive letter to open for example d:
Issuing this command open the CD/DVD device and returns the device ID in the MCIopen variable. Yhis ID is to be used in later commands.
Now to issue open request, we write the following:

mciSendCommand(MCIopen.wDeviceID, MCI_SET, MCI_SET_DOOR_OPEN, 0); // To open the devic
mciSendCommand(MCIopen.wDeviceID, MCI_SET, MCI_SET_DOOR_CLOSED, 0); // To close the devic


Finally, we should close the device using this following:

mciSendCommand(MCIopen.wDeviceID, MCI_CLOSE, MCI_WAIT, 0);


One thing to note that we should check if the command issued to open the device succeeded by checking the return of the first mciSendCommand call. If the command returned an error, we can't continue with opening/closing the drive.

As most of you probably know, Internet Explorer is the king of web browers, but this hasn't been the case since the start the World Wide Web... At the begging of the WWW, the king browser was Mosaic which was avaiable before any other browser, but this quickly changed around the mid of 1990's (mainly 1994, 1995 and 1996), when the most used browser was Netscape navigator (taking around 80% of the browsers usage) and IE was way lacking behind with around 10%. With time, this also changed...In 1997, the figures were closer with around 60% for Netscape and 30% for IE and evetually Mosiac was loosing more figures. At the end of the 90s, the war was furious and both browers had similar figures with around 45%!
During the first 5 years of the next decade, IE with the king of browers and continued on gaining figures until reaching 90% of the total web browsers usage in early 2006. This domination of the market changed when FireFox was launched and it quickly gained 10% of the market in very few months and it continues to grow till now.
Now, these figures are as follows (according to TheCounter.com taken from Wikipedia.org):
IE: 81.63%
Netscape Navigator: 0.06% (all birds fall down eventually!)
FireFox: 13.49%
Opera: 0.66% (my personal favorite, but having a very low usage!!)
Safari: 3.00%

Windows gives you the possibility to save your dialup passwords so that it makes it easy for you to dial a connection without entering your password each time. Saved dialup passwords are not treated like other saved passwords in Windows. This are stored in a special place and not stored in the password field therefore using a product such as Password Spyer 2k will not be useful in recovering the password since Password Spyer 2k recovers passwords hidden IN the password field. In order to recover dialup passwords, we use another program named Dialup Password RecoveryDialup Password Recovery extracts the password hidden in Windows for all saved dialup passwords. Dialup connections can be made public (available to all users) or private (available to the user who created them). Dialup Password Recovery is capable of recovering both types. For private connections, you need to be logged in as the user who created the connections in order for the recovery to work.
Finally, here is a screenshot showing the software recovering some dialup passwords.

Some sites allow you to save your password in your browser making it easier to login to the site. This sometimes shows your login and password (as asterisks) as already filled in the form fields. This makes it very easy to retrieve the saved web password shown as asterisks.using Password Spyer 2k, recoverying such passwords is just one click away. Simply opening the web site that contains the password and waiting until the password field is filled with the password as asterisks and then opening the registered version of Password Spyer 2k and clicked on show web passwords will give you a listing of all IE browsers having a saved password in any page.
