    Is there a virtual CD / DVD program that allows you to mount ISO's that is portable. In other words, doesn't require an installation, registry edits, etc. I am finding that this would be useful for saving all my hardware CD or DVD driver disks and other programs instead of having to install a virtual drive program (i.e. Daemon Tools) on every computer, or use the actual CD or DVD (that I'd probably lose anyhow)?

    Thanks!

    If all else fails, just open the .iso file with winrar or 7zip.

    If you have vmware and thinapps, you can make your own portable virtual cd/dvd program easily . E.g. portable magicdisk
