I'm playing a windows game that only works if the game cd is in my d-drive. I don't have a cd drive but I have the iso file which I have to click on to mimic a cd in a d-drive (I believe that is what's called mounting) just to play the game. Is there a way for launchbox  to automatically mount the cd when I click on the game in launchbox and eject when I'm done? I know dos games have a feature to mount cd's but it doesn't seem to work for windows games.

It's not a big deal, just an extra step just to play the game that I'm hoping LB can streamline. My biggest fear is if I forget to "eject" the iso image from my d-drive and leave it in there, I'm worried the file might get corrupted if left in there when I do something such as shut down my computer; although I don't remember being a kid and ruining cd's by leaving them in the computer.

Never mind I figured it out. I set the CD ISO image as an additional app and checked the box that says "Automatically Run Before Main Application."

It would be nice if it also ejected but the CD folder remains open after I close the game so that can remind me to eject the ISO image.
