DownloadLockCD program disables CD-ROM's eject button. It runs in the system tray and identifies itself by a red icon, which drops a menu on the right mouse click or shows Main UI on the left click. LockCD can also be accessed from the Explorer Context Menu by right-clicking on the CD-ROM icon.
This application was written after giving up on finding a properly functioning software that would lock CD-ROM's eject button on my Lenovo T520 laptop, which i hit quite frequently. The main problem with the software available on the internet is that it doesn't retain the lock state after Sleep/Hibernation/Resume.
This application is based on .Net 4.0 framework, so make sure its runtime is installed on your PC.

Doesn't work once the laptop lid is closed, the software entirely fails to operate. "Keeps eject button locked after sleep-hibernate-resume" may be fine but does no good if closing the laptop lid without any of those actions still causes the software to break.

Fractal Design desktop case has a door that blocks the CD drive. Which is OK, until the CD is ejected unintentionally via software and the tray continually tries to open over and over. A nice fire hazard sorted by this program. Thanks!

Works ok when computer is rebooted, but when coming out of hibernation it will not work again until computer is rebooted. Mine is hibernated every night so its pretty useless unfortunately.

I does lock my DVD drive tray. Which is great. However, I cannot get it to re-enable my drive tray. I move it to Available CD Drives, or use the right-click context menu to re-enable it, it will not permit the drive to function.

Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks for sharing. On my machine (T420 Thinkpad) it requires approx. 21Mb of memory. As i don't know if this is reasonable or not i only wanted to add this, because in a previous post someone wrote about 50Mb.
