Open With

hi,
I have several types of ISO. Some are software CD's, some are movies (which i open with VLC Media Player).

I hate it that I have to "right click, open with, (vlc not listed!), select program, browse, program files, videolan, bla bla bla..." every time.

Is there some kind of app that if you double click on the file (so regular open with the standard program) wich is the standard program and let's you choose right away?
Like the screen attached.

So the standard program for a .iso file is set to "File Opener"
I double click the file.
The File Opener program appears
And I select the program for this time. Next time it's another program.

I hope I'm Clear....

well that's the thing.
every time it's another program. either VLC or Winrar

Good suggestion, but I'm wondering if this app will work in Windows 7. Under System Requirements, the website lists XP, Vista, and Windows 7, but then it doesn't list Windows 7 here: "This utility works under Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, and Windows Vista."

Yes it works fine under windows 7, Ive used it many times.

You might want to try using Alcohol 52 Free Edition, which allows you to mount your ISO files to a virtual CD/DVD drive. From there, Autoplay will take care of the rest. Data ISOs will open in Explorer, and DVD ISOs will play in your default player.

Nothing could be simpler.

Hi,
I'll just go with open with, or dragging it onto my desktop.
Thx for your help
