Hello parent!

Here are some ideas (ranked in order of effort/cost):

1) Learn to say "NO" real loud.
2) Tape a piece of cardboard across the face of the player so that
little fingers can't reach the button.

similar effect, but without cosmetic damage to the computer. [0]</joke>

3) Move the computer up high so the darling can't reach the eject
button.
4) Invest in a CD player that allows you to disable the eject button via
jumpers (Pioneer sells these -- Google search "disable eject button").
Opening the door can be done under software control AFTER a user logs
in.

own and would never really do something like that.
