tray

Since installing Windows 7, the entire office has experienced random CD tray openings, sometimes while we are in the office, sometimes not.

On my PC, I have two disc-reading devices, but only the top one ever slides open. I have found nothing in the event logs to that looks appropriate, even going to them right after I saw my own tray slide open all by itself.

Although it's not hurting anything (that I can tell), I'd like to know what is going on. To that end, are there any useful ways to audit these events?
