Add ISO Burning To Windows XP


Add ISO Burning To Windows XP

The CD and DVD burning facilities are quite basic but here’s a way to beef them up a bit by adding an ISO image file and disc copying facility. An ISO file is a collection of all of the files or the ‘image’ of all the files on a CD or DVD.



ISO Recorder was originally developed as a PowerToy by Microsoft during the Windows XP beta testing program but was dropped. Now it’s been revived, and improved and what’s more it’s compatible with Windows Vista. ISO Recorder is a Shell Extension so there’s no program to launch, simply right-click on an image file with the extension *.iso and select ‘Copy Image to CD’ from the drop-down menu. To copy a disc just click on the CD or DVD icon in Windows Explorer and choose Create image from CD, it’s that simple!
