[ender341]

Does anyone know of a registry hack that will put "burn .iso to disk" on the right click menu?

ISO Recorder Power Toy

You should also try the ISO Recorder Power Toy to enable ISO file-burning as a native XP command (145kb).

ISO Recorder Power Toy is a UI component that allows to use CD-Recording capabilities of Windows XP to record ISO images and copy CD to CD - a piece of functionality missing in Windows XP. The ISO Recorder itself does not record CDs but instead uses existing OS features. This software works on Windows XP only!

You can use this tool to record ISO images. Right-click on an ISO file and select "Copy Image to CD". The wizard will open up. The file name should appear in the "File name" edit box.

You can use this tool to create ISO images. Right-click on a CD drive icon in My Computer and select "Copy CD to Image File".

You can also use this tool to copy CDs. Right-click on a CD drive icon in "My Computer" and select "Copy Disk to CD".

See my How to Write ISO Files to CD page for some screenshots.

Note: The latest PowerToy suit from Microsoft already has the an ISO Recorder tool inside so you don't have to install it if you don't want to.

Note Regarding Windows XP SP2: ISO Recorder does not work on XP SP2!!!

You also can burn iso image to CD with MagicISO built-in ISO burner.

I copied this from another post (Don't have URL) in which you can configure Nero to burn an ISO image. I would assume you can replace the syntax with another program but I could be wrong:

Open Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/{File types}.

Select the entry for ISO and click "Advanced".

Click 'New' and name it "Open with Nero"

In the Application area enter:

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

Also, this isn't a registry file, but you could take a snapshot of the registry before and after and see what changes. Good luck!
