Um, just use it like a Mac? Just hold down the button like you were
accessing a Mac menu-bar? I think that's all you can do.
Is this for some kind of prank? I mean, it would be fun to write a
System 7.5-like UI for Windows with the joyful knowledge that some
fire-breathing Windows advocate will one day turn on his machine, see
a MacOS logo, and die of a heart attack.
Hell, I'd spring for a single-button mouse if that is indeed your
intention.

Prying off the eject button, that's the part that'd suck.
