autoload an iso when double clicked?

[Fillzter]

Are there any ways of making this happen? I need the program to load the image when I double click on it. In this case it is impossible for me to take use of the command "-mount 0,''".

Anyone?

Hi there!

THIS will fit your needs. Save as .reg, d-click it and off you go!

Alright, that would do the trick. But if I change .iso to .img (for .img files) it doesn't work! It just say "error in command line". Why?

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Unmount\Command]
@="d:\\d-tools\\daemon.exe -unmount 0"

this is the one I use, so in the right click menu, if no programs associate with img, iso etc, you may double click to mount.

well, I still get the error message from *.img files

EDIT: and if a file isn't associated with anything, I get the regular "select program" list...

Just use FastMount 2, works great (also with IMG files)

BrianWarming, thanks for making a recommendation. I just want to point out that FastMount v2.0.1.82 is also hosted on the DAEMON Tools website (if anyone wants to download it):

Excellent! Fastmount 2 works perfectly! The only trouble now is, somehow the 'auto-insert' function in windows is disabled. Anyone know how to enable it? (options @ cd-rom doesn't work).
