Have you tried right-clicking on "Eject PC" in the start menu to see if
there is a "Delete" option?

Nobody here is going to tell you something that you could easily find
out yourself. Not when there's too much fun to be had otherwise.

Generally,
one can find
out for oneself the entire
gamut of desired information.
Look, we'd love to help,
especially on a
fun challenge like this,
only the
resources are so readily available.
Examine the third record down (from
jsiinc.com), and
evade the
chiding of
the masses.
pleasant computing!
Cheers, dan

"Eject PC" is similar to "Eject CD", but it works in reverse -- thus the
name.

The CD tray stays motionless in space while the rest of the tower is
flung backwards 5.5 inches. As with "Eject CD", this too makes it
possible to remove the CD from the tray -- but since the disk itself
isn't thrust out of the case at high speed, there's less erosion of its
delicate surface from passing particles of air and the impurities it
contains.

That's OK if you don't mind replacing the rest of the computer on a regular basis.

Sounds like something you can do for yourself.

Good luck!

Who are you replying to, and to which post does this refer? If you are
going to post what may be a useful answer to a specific problem, it's going
to be little help to the OP when your reply doesn't get added to the
original thread (clue: click on the button marked 'reply').
