It’s a pretty simple request, I think. I think it would be a good idea if there were an option to open up the newly mounted CD image in Explorer. You already list what the drive is, so you obviously know it. So that means all you’d have to do is run “explorer.exe X:” where X: is the virtual CDROM drive.
It could be a button, the default double click action, or even a checkbox that would say “Open in Explorer on mount.” Or any combination of those.
It would just be really convenient.
