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 developed by Microsoft for Windows XP (including early Windows Whistler editions[2]), though the program will still function with Windows Server 2003[3] and Windows Vista.[4] (although it requires "Running as administrator" when User Account Control is enabled). The software is often used to access MSDN iso downloads.[5][6]

There is no official online help for the software, though a readme is included in the self-extracting archive. The software handles the following filetypes: .udf; .cdfs; .jo; .iso; .rock.

This tool doesn't support any 64 bit Windows.[7]
