You shouldn't eject while in game. It's used for swapping discs, usually on multi-disc games (like Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, etc).

1) Go back into windowed mode, I guess. I'm not aware of any other way =T
2) When a game tells you to swap a disc, press eject, and then load the new disc (you can use a physical drive or an image).

Just press Alt + Enter to switch between full screen and windowed mode, meude.
As far as 'eject CD' is concerned, it's for when you need to change discs - as when, for instance, you need to change to disk 2 in Chrono Cross. You use it when you get a message in the game to insert disk whatever.

I miss just hitting ESC to go back to windowed mode  When playing through Final Fantasy IX, I found that you could just insert a new disc without ejecting the old one and everything would continue on like normal. Handy! |

When playing through Final Fantasy IX, I found that you could just insert a new disc without ejecting the old one and everything would continue on like normal. Handy! It probably depends upon the game as much as anything. As a guess, I'd say that if the game stops reading the cue/cd for whatever reason, then it's safe to do the eject/insert. Like when you're swapping discs for mult-disc games. If the game is still active, it'll blow up. Like, with that problem discovered with the MegaMan X6 with versions 1.0-1.4 of pSX and the game locking up - even though the music is playing, it's not actively reading the disc, so it's safe to eject/reinsert. But in v1.5, even though the screen goes blank, the game is still actively reading or something, and if you try and eject CD, pSX blows up. |

hmm. Maybe the "eject CD" line should be renamed to "next CD" or "swap CD" then, to be more self explaining.
Maybe a shortcut key would be great to switch to the next CD to let you stay in fullscreen then.

Personally, I think Eject CD is just fine. Next CD isn't the only use, and Swap CD... well, I don't know, but Eject CD just sounds more correct than that.

Agreed. Eject CD certainly describes what it is meant to do.
