ISO Applications

[RedVyper]

I have used several programs to work with ISO files such as Winiso and ultraiso.

I am looking for a porgram that would do the fallowing.

1.) you could right click on say a bin file or other supported image file and get an option to convert to bin iso etc?

2.) In windows explorer to just be able to select a bunch of files and right click and choose create cd image such iso bin or whatever.

look at cdburnerXP... freeware

will convert nero and bin to iso

DL the exe installer, dbl-click it, but do not install. Look in your %temp% and you will find the MSI that is the real installer that you can install silent. just like daemon-tools

um not what i'm looking for.

drop a folder on this batch to make an ISO

(asssumes cdimage.exe in in windir

makeISO.cmd

@%windir%\CDIMAGE -LIMAGE -YD -N -H -X -OCI -M -D %1 IMAGE.ISO
@move image.iso "%userprofile%\desktop\"

I wanted to do the same thing a while ago, so I use this method. Create a file called "convert2iso.cmd". This file needs to be somewhere that the PATH variable can find it, preferably in the Windows or Windows\System32 directory. Here is the content of the file:

@echo off

cmdow @ /hid

rem The next line converts the BIN file with UltraISO

"C:\Program Files\UltraISO\UltraISO.exe" -bin2iso %1

rem The next line strips the changes the name of the ".bin" extension off and

rem adds ".iso" to the end

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i IN (%1) DO set convertedbin="%%~dpi%%~ni.iso"

rem The next line makes sure that the ISO file exists before it deletes the BIN file

rem in case you cancel the conversion for some reason)

IF NOT EXIST %convertedbin% GOTO END

rem The next line deletes the BIN file

DEL /q %1

:END

Next, I've edited the registry a little:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bin]

@="BIN Image"

;Alcohol handler for the "Mount Image option"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bin\PersistentHandler]

@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image]

"BrowserFlags"=dword:00000008

"EditFlags"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\DefaultIcon]

@="C:\\WINDOWS\\Icons\\ISO.ico"

;By default I like to open BINs & ISOs with UltraISO, so I set the default action for them(BIN files in this case) to open

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell]

@="Open"

;I copied Axcmd.exe from the Alcohol directory and put it in the Windows/System32 directory

;The next 2 entries just add the seperate command "Alcohol Mount" to the right-click of BIN files; I do the same with ISO files; note, this Mounts Images to the FIRST Alcohol Virtual Drive

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Alcohol Mount]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Alcohol Mount\command]

@="AxCmd.exe 1: /M:\"%1\""

;The next 2 entries just add the seperate command "Alcohol UnMount" to the right-click of BIN files; note, this UnMounts Images from ALL Alcohol Virtual Drives

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Alcohol UNmount]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Alcohol UNmount\command]

@="AxCmd.exe 1: /U"

;The next 2 entries add a right click option to Burn the BIN file with Nero

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Burn, Baby!! BURN!!!!]

@="Burn, Baby!! BURN!!!!"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Burn, Baby!! BURN!!!!\command]

@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Ahead\\Nero\\nero.exe\" \"%1\""

;The next 2 entries add a right click option to Convert the BIN file to an ISO file using UltraISO

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Convert to ISO]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Convert to ISO\command]

@="convert2iso.cmd \"%1\""

;The next 2 entries add a right click option to open the BIN file with UltraISO, which is my default action

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Open\command]

@="\"C:\\Program Files\\UltraISO\\UltraISO.exe\" \"%1\""

;These last entries are the Alcohol 120% added entries for the "Mount Image on" whatever Alcohol 120% Virtual Drive(s)

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Open\ddeexec]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Open\ddeexec\Application]

@="UltraISO"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\Shell\Open\ddeexec\Topic]

@="System"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\ShellEx]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BIN Image\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\AlcoholShellEx]

@="{32020A01-506E-484D-A2A8-BE3CF17601C3}"

This is how I do it, so when I right click on my BIN file and choose "Convert to ISO", UltraISO's conversion box pops up and begins (with progress bar, that's why I use it over DOS based converters) & when it finshes, it checks that the ISO file is actually there & deletes the BIN file (if the ISO file exists). No need to manually delete the BIN file, and the ISO file is in the same Folder location as the original BIN file
