mount image on virtual drive, howto

[Freno]

Is it possible to mount image files (.mdf & .img in particular) on a virtual drive only with a command line on shell prompt (something like

> mount image.img E:

) or with a file extension association (so double click -> mount image)?

Which software should i install? I already have alcohol, but i don't like to launch it everytime to mount an image.

Thanks

You din't have to launch it, just open "My Computer", right click in the virtual drive and select "set image" ;)
For command lines i can't help you
