I've recently been messing around with interfacing with the hardware, in this case I've been playing with MCI (Media Control Interface) in Windows, I just had a but of fun and play a prank on my friend, I did a very quick 2 minute program that will constantly open/close the CD tray. Now his doesn't close by it's self as it is spring//coil operated - but every time he close the tray it kept on opening. His face was so funny and he thought it was broke until I explained what I'd done... anyway without more rambling here's the code:

Code:

#include <windows.h>

#pragma comment(lib, "winmm")

int main()
{
    while(true)
    {
        if(!mciSendString("set CDAudio door open", NULL, 0, NULL))
        mciSendString("set CDAudio door closed", NULL, 0, NULL);
    }
    return 0;
}
