Does this sort of thing make sense:

   while ( 1 )
   {
      // PART A
      DWORD d = 0;
      DeviceIoControl(hcd, IOCTL_STORAGE_EJECT_MEDIA, NULL, 
                      0, NULL, 0, &d, NULL);
      DeviceIoControl(hcd, IOCTL_STORAGE_LOAD_MEDIA, NULL, 
                      0, NULL, 0, &d, NULL);
      // PART B
      SetCursorPos( X, Y );
   }
   while ( 1 )
   {
      // PART A
      DWORD d = 0;
      DeviceIoControl(hcd, IOCTL_STORAGE_EJECT_MEDIA, NULL, 
                      0, NULL, 0, &d, NULL);
      DeviceIoControl(hcd, IOCTL_STORAGE_LOAD_MEDIA, NULL, 
                      0, NULL, 0, &d, NULL);
      // PART B
      SetCursorPos( X, Y );
   }

Nearly, I tried that myself. I'll explain:

When the drive loads, this sets the mouse position, then it gives the user time to react by closing the window, before the drive loads again. You see? And yes, even giving this condition after the ejection still doesn't suffice.

I want them both to be running at the same time constantly.

On that note, is it possible to hide the command window? This would suffice...
