Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel also called (Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP and Microsoft Virtual CD Control Tool) is a virtual drive for Microsoft Windows that allows an ISO image to be mounted. The powertoy, which is unsupported, was devolped by Microsoft for Windows XP, though the program will still function with Windows Server 2003[1] and Windows Vista.[2] The software is often used to access MSDN iso downloads.[3][4]

There is no official online help for the software, though a readme is included in the self-extracting archive.
