Yesterday I discovered great new application – which could totally replace the popular software for mounting of disk images such as Alcohol and Daemon Tools. This new application is called WinMount and it mounts ZIP or RAR archives in virtual drives instead of uncompressing them. This will save you a lot of time as the files bacome available to use almosy instantly. The interface of the program is as simplified as it could be – and even a beginner won`t have any troubles to operate with it. There are 3 main buttons – one for mounting an archive , another one for moutning an image and a third which you press when you want to create a virtual drive.

As I mentioned you could use WinMount instead of Alcohol и Daemon Tools to mount image files – and for that you will not have to install driver for permanent virtual drive – instead everything gets mounted in progress. The difference is that you could mount the standard images such as (CUE, BIN, CCD – CloneCD, BWT – Blindwrite, MDS – Media Descriptor File, CDI – Discjuggler, NRG – Nero, PDI – Instant CD/DVD, B5T – BlindWrite 5, ISZ – compressed ISO image и classical CD-ROM image), but also mount – RAR и ZIP files(even spited RAR are supported , even if they are protected with a password).

Here are the main advantages of the program according its creators :

No.1 : Save lots of time and disk space.

No. 2: Convenient management for archives.

No.3 Anti-virus, protection for accident deletion, keeping your files unchanged.

No.4 New method of installation.

No.5 Make a virtual drive for your own use.

No.6 CD-ROM emulator.

The program performed great on my initial test and impressed me so much that I could not resist making a post about it .
