Have you ever had to explain to a non IT person how to burn an ISO image? It can be a challenge, and understandably so – if you don’t understand the fact that an ISO file is not just a regular file then it does not make much sense..
Anyhow, here is a good tip for you;
Download ISOCDBURNER from this site;

It is almost fool proof 🙂 Only thing to note is that the program file need to be in the same directory as the .ISO file, but other than that nothing can go wrong 🙂 even your aunt, mother or sister can do this 🙂
Need a few more features but still a fairly foolproof software, take a look at this;

Have you some old MS-Dos program lying around that you for some reason wish you could run, but as you installed Windows 7 64bit this is not possible!?
Well then this is for you, DOSbox is a free dos emulator that does a REALLY good job of executing these old apps. It will even emulate a SoundBlaster Pro soundcard so you will be able to get sound and all. So if you have Monkey Island I lying around somewhere now is your chance to get all nostalgic 🙂 Oh yeah, it is as with so many other cool things FREE 😀

On the subject of ISO files (previous post), if you have downloaded a bootable ISO file and want to do a quick preview of it – then try MobaLiveCD.
MobaLiveCD is a quite simple little utility that will provide an instant emulation of a system, thus you start MobaLiveCD and tell it to ‘boot’ the ISO file of your choice and BAM without any fuss you will see the menu of this CD/DVD. Really cool. Ok, one minor issue with this is that the speed of the thing is not great, for starting small menu driven cd’s/dvd’s it’s great but for starting a Linux live cd it is hopeless – so I guess it’s more a tool to quickly see what’s on a cd/dvd than a virtual pc kind of thing – but hey it is free.
