7-zip will not extract a zipped file

Matthew Wai said:

Double-clicking on an ISO file will not mount it if ISO is associated with 7-Zip.

You can mount ISO with double click??

I guess I never used this because in earlier version of Windows it would show "burn to CD" dialog which I hated so much lol

Yes, I always can. Can't you? Try it yourself; see for yourself.

Yeah so can I.

Matthew Wai said:

I wonder who can't.

I think everyone can. It's just not something most people try, myself included.

Generally I assume... left click to "run" and right click for other choices.

Right click is so powerful, first this I do after log in is right click on desktop and refresh (habit from XP days)...

Matthew Wai said:

Shift + right-click gives you additional options.


Running an ISO file ＝ mounting it.

Yeah, I know. Like I said, I don't think very many people think of ISOs as being able to be... "run".
Generally people put ISOs on DVDs or USB sticks.

Yes, or single if that's what you have set as the default for OPEN. This will work because "Mount" is the top default option for a file type .ISO. It will not work if you have another program installed that has set it's own default associations and taken precedence. Such as 7-Zip, and others. Then you need to right-click and open with Explorer. Results are the same.
