How to mount an ISO image file on Windows 7

There is a free unsupported utility from Microsoft ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38780 ) called Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel that enables users of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 to mount ISO disk image files as virtual CD-ROM drives.

I downloaded it, unzipped, moved driver to Windows System folder, configured it and attempted to use. Finally, remove it from my test computer.

Next, go to http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html to get SlySoft Virtual Clone Drive, a freeware. After installed it, I can open the ISO image disk file from Windows Explorer. Virtual Clone Drive is easy to install and use.
