Maybe it supports more file types than just ISOs like WinCDEmu, Virtual Clone Drive, Daemon Tools all do. For whatever reason he likes whatever he wants to use better.


I don't think he is making an argument that what he wants to use is less RAM. (File Explorer, like Windows Explorer in previous versions, is always running - remember, it's the shell behind other necessaries, such as the Taskbar.) That is less than any third-party ISO mounting utility i have seen - free OR fee. Even the additional processes chew up no more in the way of RAM use. And how does your utility (even a home-rolled one) use less RAM (or resources) than File Explorer (the renamed Windows Explorer, which handles ISO mounting)? At worst, File Explorer adds an additional process per ISO it mounts - it uses no more RAM on a per-drive or even per-ISO basis (at up to six drives).
