There are some tools such as eject.exe that can be used
for this purpose. See if you can find one via Google. If not
then I can post the one I have.

Why not just select "Close Tray" ?

Ah, I'd try "Eject again, or just wait - most drives will auto-close
after a time-out period, as hard-coded into their firmware.

If OTOH you wanted to re-autorun a CD that was already in place, I'd
rt-click the drive letter and choose Autorun or Autoplay, which will
no longer be the default (bold) action if already done.
