How to mount an ISO image with Windows 8?

I'm using Windows 8 Pro x64.

How do I mount an ISO file in WIndows 8?

I right click on the ISO file and the menu that pops up does not give me a Mount option.  At the top of the menu it says Play.  There is not a mount option anywhere in the menu.  I looked in the Open With option but Mount is not there either.

    Did you try the following?.

    Right-click an .iso file > Properties > click "Change" under the "General" tab > click on "Windows Explorer" > OK

    There is no built in ISO Mounting app with Windows 8.  You will have to use 3rd party software to mount an ISO Image.

    Windows 8 only comes with the ability to burn ISO images.

    I just double click .iso files -  then its automatically mounted as a virtual drive (VHD) and you can browse and use it like any dvd/disc folder - disappears when you Restart.

    that is completely incorrect, win 8 DOES have the option to mount iso files when you right click on them.

    In fact its the first item on the pop up menu AND its highlighted in BOLD
