I use the free tool, MagicDisc. It supports Windows 7.

No. You'll need a third-party tool. Virtual Clone Drive is a popular option.

Yet! Virtual CloneDrive works for win 7, DaemonTools and Alcohol 120% don't work on win 7 (i've tested them) – Remus Rigo Oct 30 at 18:38

No, you can't do that directly with Windows 7.

However, you can find a selection of programs to do this task, at this other question.

The How-To Geek also has an article about it, if you would need a tutorial (small one, but still).

WinCDEmu is an open-source software that allows mounting CD/DVD images by clicking at the image files in Windows Explorer (right click > eject to unmount).

Works with XP/Vista/7 x86 & x64

WinCDEmu is freeware.

This answer would fit better there: superuser.com/questions/3804/…. It would contribute to make this other question the reference for such topic. This question here is more about the possibility for Windows 7 to natively mount isos. – Gnoupi Oct 30 at 15:56
"the possibility for Windows 7 to natively mount isos" ? there is no such possibility, better luck with windows 8 :) – Molly7244 Oct 30 at 16:06
There is no such possibility, which is the actual answer for the question, at least in the way I understand that. "There is no solution" is a possible answer, as long as it is supported by more than just "no". – Gnoupi Oct 30 at 16:10
Gnoupi, would you please stop being so picky about other people's answers and instead enjoy your moment here, like everyone else? – A Dwarf Oct 30 at 16:12
I'm recommending simply to have answers which are matching to the questions, in an objective to make this site clear, and useful for people who would find these pages afterwards. I'm not "picky" about answers. And yes, I enjoy my time here ;) – Gnoupi Oct 30 at 16:24

You can use Daemon Tools to mount the .iso or WinRAR will let you extract/explore the contents of an .iso.
