Disable CD drive spin up in explorer
Is it possible to stop the CD drive from spinning up everytime I open My Computer or when a program starts looking for files?

" DisCD disables CD-ROM drives, so that they won't spin up on opening of Explorer or similar programs. For Windows NT/2000 only. "

The download link doesn't work anymore. Where can I get DisCD?

Thanks
