Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel also called (Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP and Microsoft Virtual CD Control Tool) is a virtual drive for Microsoft Windows that allows an ISO image to be mounted. The powertoy, which is unsupported, was devolped by Microsoft for Windows XP (including early Windows Whistler editions[1]), though the program will still function with Windows Server 2003[2] and Windows Vista.[3] The software is often used to access MSDN iso downloads.[4][5]
