Mount a Disc Image from Context Menu?

(1/1)

Deozaan:
Hi all,

I deal with disc images semi-frequently, and one thing that I've found very helpful in the past is to be able to just right-click the ISO (or other format) image and select "Mount Disc Image" and it would automatically mount it as a virtual drive. Then I could view/copy the files I needed and then eject/unmount the drive and be on my way when I was finished.

I was under the impression that it had become a standard Windows 10 feature. But I've just noticed that I no longer have that context menu option, and I can't remember what utility I may have had installed in the past to enable it.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to get this feature back?

Deozaan:
Okay, I just solved it. It is a standard Windows 10 feature! But it seems that when I ran (not installed!) ImgBurn recently, it automatically grabbed file associations with all types of disc images, which removed the "mount" option from the context menu.

mouser:
I had no idea this was a built in windows option -- in fact it would seem more likely that ImgBurn would have been providing the feature, rather than hiding it! Good detective work!

You can also just double-click an ISO to have it mounted and opened in explorer, (providing the filetype hasn't been reassigned).
