Mount disc images on your system using WinMount 2.1

Screengrab_2 There are times when it makes more sense to burn files to a disc and then distribute the disc as an ISO image on the web, perhaps on your homepage so your family and friends can download the image and burn the contents to disc. There are other times when you'll simply want to mount and open the contents, rather than burning directly to disc. Perhaps you need the contents for another project. Commercial ISO managers will enable you to mount and open the image, but there perhaps a little overkill for importing the image and mounting on your system.

WinMount 2.1 is a tool that you can use specifically for mounting image on your system. The mounted image acts like a disk drive, so you can open and manipulate the contents. The only snag is that WinMount 2.1 is trial software, when it should have been freeware.
