The present invention provides a control button mounting structure, which is suitable for use with any of a variety of personal. computers to fit any of a variety of disk players. According to the present invention, the control button mounting structure comprises a press member suspended behind the face panel of a computer in front of a disk player, for example, a CD-ROM or DVD player, and a button knob mounted in the face panel of the computer and depressed to force the press member against the ejection control button of the disk player in opening/closing the disk player. The press member comprises a row of upright coupling barrels raised from a front side wall thereof and coupled to the button, and a plurality of press blocks extended from a bottom side wall thereof and with one press block stopped at the ejection control button of the disk player. The button knob comprises two bottom rods selectively coupled to the coupling barrels of the press member for enabling the press member to be moved with the button to press the ejection control button of the disk player.
