As you probably know, Windows XP comes with CD burning capability built in. Windows Vista adds DVD burning capability built in. While these functions work great, they are lacking an important and very useful feature: the ability to create and burn ISO (disc image) files.
This is why ISO Recorder is a great utility. Simply install the appropriate version and you will be able to easily create and burn ISO files. Once installed, you can right click on a CD or DVD in Windows Explorer and an option to create an ISO file will be available. Conversely, when you right click on an ISO file, you will have the option to burn the file to a CD or DVD. A very simple how to is posted on the site.
No additional software is needed as this “piggy-backs” on the native Windows burning software. ISO Recorder is definitely a must have utility. Best of all, it is completely free.
