ISO Creator

Undoubtedly, Windows 10 has made a lot of users happy by offering native support for ISO burning directly from the Windows Explorer shell. However, it might have also left a few of you out there wondering why it doesn't even support the creation of ISOs, as well, right?

Well, not to worry, as this can be easily fixed with the help of a tiny and efficient piece of software generically dubbed ISO Creator.

In just a few words, once installed, this utility smoothly integrates with the Windows Explorer and provides you with a hassle-free way of creating ISOs not only from your CDs, DVDs, or Blu-Rays but also from any folder on your computer's hard disk.

The installation procedure is nothing short of straightforward and the only thing you need to take into account is the fact that the app requires the presence of .NET Framework 4.5 or newer.

Other than that, everything should be a walk in the park, as this is a very minimalist and user-accessible application. As we're sure you noticed, once you opt to either create an ISO image from a disk from any folder's content, you're greeted by the app's compact GUI.

Within the app's main window, you're presented with a clear description of the progress of the process and an estimate of the remaining time. That's also the place where you can choose the ISOs destination folder. Before we conclude, we also have to highlight that the app doesn't support network drives, although this is hardly a deal-breaker.

ISO Creator is a very good example of the "Less is more"  philosophy, as this little app does its job perfectly without ever getting in your way, without requiring massive amounts of resources, all while being very novice-accessible and always within arm's reach, neatly integrated with your computer's shell.
