How would one narrow it down?
like this:

on mouseUp
launch "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\MSInfo32.exe /report C:\Temp\cdrom.txt /categories +componentsMultimediaCDROM"
end mouseUp


It only takes a couple of seconds, rather than the many seconds required to get the complete sysinfo.

Now read and parse the file cdrom.txt that was placed in C:\Temp directory.
(The file still contains some uneeded general system info, but the CD-ROM info is there.)
