Freeware to mount ISO images under Windows

Nothing new here, but it took me a couple hours to remember where I found this before (Google kept giving me results for commercial software).

Bo Brantén published FileDisk, a virtual disk driver for Windows NT/2000/XP that uses one or more files to emulate physical disks. This works with CD images too. :-)

FileDisk is packaged with Gilles Vollant's nifty WinImage, which is shareware.

Also, I read Microsoft published Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel to mount ISO image files as CD-Rom devices (the tool is unsupported, I have not tested it).

Daen:

The Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel functions but not as simply as one would hope. You have to use the control panel (program, not actual Control Panel setting) to load the driver, start it, stop it, mount and unmount iso's. I was hoping for something that used the context menu to mount.

I just discovered 7zip (I already had it installed) can extract iso files so I am going to do that.
