Windows 7: Know any good CD / DVD Emulation Software?

I'm currently using DAEMON Tool Lite and am looking for a better alternative. Does anyone know some good ones?

Virtual Clone by Elby

Gizmo by Arainia Solutions I started using it at the time because it worked on x64, just kept using it because it's been super reliable and no nonsense.

I use this one myself. It works perfectly. It doesn't have the anti-copy protection emulation that Daemon Tools has though.

If including commercial ones, what should I use?

Try Alcohol 120%.

CD and DVD Burning Software - Alcohol Soft copy and virtual drive software Alcohol 120 and 52% Free Edition

I also recommend Virtual Clone Drive by Elby.

Easy to use and no frills. And it's free.

I think I'll try Virtual Clone Drive since a lot of you guys commented on it.

EDIT: I downloaded the software and find it even better than DAEMON Tool Lite except that it doesn't support some file. But I have one question, how do I close the program after I finished using it? I don't see any options to exit the program from the system tray icon.

If you open the main window of the program, you can just disable the virtual drive from the drop down box. I have this check marked red in the screen shot.

Also if the tray icon annoys you, just uncheck the option for the tray icon. I also have this check marked in red.

If you have any more questions..feel free to ask.

Just out of curiouslity, what is it that so many dislike about Daemon tools? I've been using it for years, and apart from thesidebar gadget disappearing from time to time I've not had any problems..

Am I missing something?
