Have you even started or tried it on your own? Where are you getting stuck?

A not so hard way could be changing the setting

C++

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

in the registry. But this needs a restart of the computer to activate the changes

What about doing a bit research on your own? Most users here will help you with a problem, but they are not going to do the job for you.
