Thanks so much! Some people already rold me what it was all aboutand how i should use them but I didn't understand completely. Your explanation i much more accurate and resourceful. Thanks Leo!
I recommend usng Roxio Easy Media Creator Home for using ISO files... it's really practical!
Posted by: Robel at October 25, 2008 12:35 PMLeo.....please don't recommend 7 Zip without giving the full story. I tried to use it to extract an iso file (as discussed above) and it didn't work. And....now it has populated itself, after a complete uninstall, into my settings as the default file type for .zip folders. Can you please suggest how I may return these settings to normal again? Thanks
Without knowing more details of your failure - "it didn't work" doesn't tell me much - there's nothing I can do with that to alter my recommendation at all.
As to resetting it to normal - what's normal? Honest question, different people want different things. The quickest way is to install an alternative like WinZip, if that's the way you want to go. To re-enable Windows' support, see this article: Compressed Folders (built-in support for ZIP files) out at annoyances.org
Finally, it's not at all uncommon for programs not to know what things should be reset to when they are uninstalled. Yes, they could, and should, but many don't.

Daemon Tools Lite is what I use to "mount images" of ISO. It is free and really a neat little program to use.
Posted by: Henry Lu at November 11, 2008 6:47 AMHere's the frustration...I've burned an iso file to a CD, but all I get is the image, and none of the files...I tried six different iso burning programs, same results..Is there something I'm missing?

An ISO file is like packing up and going on vacation. It is sitting in some other place. To bring it 'home', it must be burned by using the ISO burning function to make it work as it was originally, on a CD or DVD. One mistake that people make is that many ISO files are very large, and if it is over the size of the CD, it won't burn properly. Usually if the ISO is over 700 megs, then you'll need to burn to a DVD writeable disc. Once you have burned it, eject the disc, then re-insert it to load up as it was in its original state.
