WinMount is a newly born powerful software full of original ideas and functions. Every user can find their most desired functions and usage tricks according to their habits. Now let's take a look at what benefits that Winmount can bring you:
No.1 : Save lots of time and disk space. You don't have to uncompress ZIP or RAR archives in advance before you can use them, with Winmount, you can use them directly, saving lots of disk space as well as your valuable time. Due to a special technique, Winmount is capable of mounting ZIP or RAR archives on a virtual drive very fast. You can see a list of the inside files in that just created virtual drive, but the real dynamic uncompression process underneath for a specific file wouldn't start until you really try to access it. That's why Winmount is so fast.
No. 2: Convenient management for archives. With the increasing scale of operating system, more and more softwares and multimedia applications have been installed on your computer, it's extremely obvious that archives management has already become a big challenge for you. But now you can shake this problem off with the help of Winmount. For instance, you can pack similar or related files up into a single zip or rar archive, signifying that the huge number of files decreases. When you need access them, hey, go mount right away! and there they are.
No.3 Anti-virus, protection for accident deletion, keeping your files unchanged. The virtual drive generated by Winmount is writable but on which the mounted original ZIP or RAR archives are actually read-only, as a result, no files in there can be edited phisically. Thus, this design suffices both a few special needs as well as keeping the original files safe. Similarly, you can mount a folder on a virtual drive on which any writable operations can be performed but the original files in that folder won't change.
No.4 New method of installation. During the installation of the average softwares, installers would uncompress the included files first and copy them into the specified folder. This kind of design, due to the defect of Windows itself in processing multi-files and categories poorly, brings apparent inefficiency, Even the most powerful CPU and the largest RAM will find it very difficult in promoting the installation speed, especially when dealing with hunderds or thousands of files during the installation of such large-scale applications as VC6, Word, etc. Thus, long waiting becomes an usual thing. Moreover, it's likely that you might be unwilling to delete the installer after the installation, which means extra disk space would be taken by it too. Now, Winmount can offer you a whole new ball game, we can imagine that installation procedures should be like this: first, convert a installer into ZIP or RAR archive; secondly, mount it up with Winmount. Then, generally speaking, we can use it directly, but perhaps sometimes we need a few extra procedures like some registry configurations or copying some necessary files to the system folders. We call this method of installation "Winmount-and-Play". We gloriously believe that this method is gonna be more popular day by day and finally take the leading position in the field of software installation.
No.5 Make a virtual drive for your own use. You have two options. Firstly, you can generate a 2GB formatted virtual drive with Winmount directly; secondly, you can generate a virtual drive with a certain capacity by specifying the number of its sectors. The latter one is not formatted but you can do it into FAT32 or NTFS. As clients' RAM gets larger and larger(>1GB is not rarely seen), making full use of this function, such as copying those commonly used files to the virtual drive, will bring you a more responsive operation system with less wear of your harddisk.
No.6 CD-ROM emulator. You can mount IMAGE file such as ISO, BIN, CUE, MDF, etc. on a virtual drive and run it just as you pop the real CD in the phisical CD-ROM.

You can download the beta version in the download section.
The previous beta verions of Winmount are kind of slow in mounting a ZIP or RAR archive with too many files inside. But in the newest ver1.2, the development team has employed a brand new techique called Direct-Create-File which has improved its speed enormously. Now finishing up mounting a ZIP archive with more than 8 thousand files inside takes you only A second.
There is a trend in every age in which human beings is calling for heroes. Back to ten years ago, when we were surfing on the Internet, we suffered from the net speed which was unbelievably slow. Surfers like us, therefore, obviously encountered many difficulties in downloading stuff. NetAnts, a famous multi-thread download tool of the time, was born and solved our problems. NetAnts could be considered as the hero of that age.While in modern society, with the rapid development of large harddisk, RAM, high-speed network, cheap U disk and portable harddisk with high capacity, larger than 1GB compressed archives are seen everywhere on the net and become commonly used, we come to understand that we can now download files from Internet on the fly but extracting and installing such files, which's process sometimes lasts too long, becomes our new problem.Winmount is born for solving this problem. Winmount, offering you no boring waiting and instant use of your downloaded archives, in the near future, will surely be the hero of the information age and serve each computer throughout the world.
WinMount, a new way of operation!
WinMount, a new way of life!
