I get a LOT of email about the missing link in my Ultimate Tools list wondering how to Mount ISO files.  Apparently, now it's distributable, and you can get it from Microsoft: Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP.  Damned useful, especially when you have 200+ Gigs of ISO files. :)

The following tool for Windows XP allows image files to be mounted virtually as CD-ROM devices. This tool is provided here for your convenience, and is unsupported by Microsoft Product Support Services.

(Via Mike Gunderloy on win_tech_off_topic - this tool is pointed to on the MSDN subscriptions FAQ page - click on "What are ISO image files and how do I use them?" and the link is near the bottom of that section.)

I find DAEMON tools more useful and easy to use and works on XP.

I too use Daemon tools and the support for loading CDs with emulation for copy protection is amazing.

Yeah Daemon Tools and Nero's own ImageDrive are both good enough to load image files ... Daemon tools provides an option to create 4 virtual drives and to load images in every one of them !!!

Scott, does this Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP load images of other formats ( other than ISO ) ???
