There are plenty of utilities that will let you mount a disc image as a virtual drive, allowing you to browse the contents without actually burning the image to a disc. But Pismo File Mount is one of the easiest to use that we've seen -- and it has the added benefit of also being able to mount ZIP archives.To install the free Windows utility you just need to download and run the PFM Audit Package found on the Pismo web site. Once the program is installed, you can mount a ZIP or ISO file by right-clicking on the file and selecting Mount or Quick Mount from the context menu. You can also launch Pismo File Mount first and then browse for the files you want to mount.
Once you map the archive to a virtual drive, you can should be able to view the contents in Windows Explorer. You can also decide whether or not you want read/write or read only access to the archived files.

Wow...just read that AOL, Weblogs, etc. seems to be in trouble. As a faithful reader and ad clicker I'm very disappointed at the lack of notice, lack of posts, lack of recognition of the challenges, etc.
Visitors are quite loyal and a quick and dirty post to say we're halting new posts a few days would be nice.
And a little support for the "little guys" who spend many hours a day researching and posting would be nice too. Bet the "big-wigs" are drawing their salaries during the tough times.

"On Weblogs Inc, which falls under Bill Wilson’s programming group, some changes: it is asking some of its bloggers, who get paid by the post, to stop blogging until July 31 to save on costs. The blogs affected include Diylife.com, The Unofficial Apple Weblog, and DownloadSquad, according to another internal memo we obtained"
