Installation

More information
----------------
The program is pretty well self-explanatory... so there is not much to be said, except to play with it and see how it runs. Here are just a few tips:
- There are two ways of popping up the main window - either by double clicking the icon in systray, or by right-click then selecting 'Main Window'
- To assign a hotkey, first select the CD-ROM drive you want to edit from the left hand list on the Hotkeys tab. Then, click on the textbox on the right accordingly with the function you want to assign the hotkey to. Press a keyboard combination that you intend to use as hotkey (for example CTRL + ALT +F5 ). You can do the same for all three hotkeys assigned to the currently selected disk. Once you are satisfied, press the Save Hotkeys button to save them.
- The tray icon changes color from yellow to green when valid media is available in the drive.
