I have a bunch of ISO images of product installs, and it’s always a pain in the bum to have to either burn them to CD or extract them using something like WinISO to use them. To make matters worse, I’ve just downloaded a not quite 3gig DVD ISO file and need to install, and of course, can’t find a DVD Burner anywhere.

Luckily, a quick Google turned up this, Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP, an unsupported tool from Microsoft which lets you mount an ISO file as a drive letter. You have to manually install (there is a readme.txt file) but it seems to work well, even with 3gig ISO’s.
