I was looking for something fast & easy & portable to mount stuff & found d.tools topic hire, but looks like its dead & does not offer any solutions.
In any case I found a Virtual CDRom Control Panel. its small(33.0 Kb) & portable & you can mount stuff pretty fast without any hassle, with just couple of clicks. Its not 100% user friendly but its free & portable & small & once u understand how it works it wont be a too big of an issue.
System Requirements
===================
- Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional
You can mount: *.iso; *.udf; *.cdfs; *.jo; and *.rock files.
