WinCDEmu

The easiest way to mount an ISO. And more...

Visit WinCDEmu

WinCDEmu is an open-source CD/DVD/BD emulator for Windows that mounts optical disc images by clicking them in Windows Explorer, allowing a downloaded ISO to be used without burning it to a disc. It supports one-click mounting of ISO, CUE, NRG, MDS/MDF, CCD and IMG images, including data, DVD-video and BD-video images, and can create ISO images through an Explorer context menu. It runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions from XP to Windows 10, supports an unlimited number of virtual drives, does not occupy drive letters when unused, and does not require a reboot after installation. A portable version is available, and the interface is translated into more than 20 languages through community-maintained LNG files.

WinCDEmu is free for any kind of use under the LGPL and is provided free of charge without technical support. It is aimed at Windows users who need to work with disc image files directly from Explorer.
