WinISO is a slick-looking, high-performance CD/DVD/Blu-ray image file utility tool that will allow you to carry out a selection of disk image tasks as simply as possible. So, what kind of tasks can the WinISO help you out with?

Well, according to the developer, it can: - Convert image files between ISO / BIN and other formats - Extract, edit, rename ISO files directly - Burn ISO image file to CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc - Make bootable CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc - Bridge and unbridge file systems - Mount ISO image files Disk images are clearly displayed across the top of WinISO, and once you get the right files added, it will be very simple to go ahead and process them into the type of disk image you need.

The whole app is pretty esthetically pleasing, in fact, which makes using it much more pleasant. The basics of WinISO are like any similar program. You choose what you want to create from the New File menu, add the files you want to include via Add Files, then choose the option you need from Extract, Make, Convert, Burn and Mount.

If you need to specify anything more, WinISO will prompt you, and the creation process is fast - although it can drag out if you're processing a large volume of data. The one thing we noticed about WinISO is that it doesn't have many options beyond the disk creation options themselves. This makes it a little less flexible than rival programs, but in all is still such a clear, straightforward program that we really didn't mind.

WinISO lets you create bootable disks, mount files and create ISOs all in a few clicks. It's a solid app that we recommend.

Fried Cookie has once again released a dead simple application for basic tasks but File Extractor is a tough recommendation as it is just too simple. While it does support a myriad of formats, the only thing that File Extractor does is uncompress file archives.

File Extractor's interface features a simple drag and drop affair. There are no options to adjust other than where to save the file. Disappointingly, you cannot create a new folder within the application to save to. Users will have to create a new folder in Windows Explorer before choosing it within File Extractor.

It is difficult to recommend File Extractor over free alternatives like 7-Zip, which supports more formats, compresses/uncompresses files, and is integrated into the Windows shell so that right-clicking on files gives you a 7-Zip option to add or extract an archive.

Overall, File Extractor is too simple, slow, and doesn't feature important features that other free competitors offer.

This application not only includes support for extracting virtually any kind of file compression format, it also reduces file sizes and runs on almost any version of Windows, from 98 to Windows 7.

Some will argue that WinRAR isn’t as quick as rival WinZip at compressing files. However, for the small time difference, WinRAR leaves you with a significantly smaller archived file at the end of the process. What’s more, the application allows you to save files into both .ZIP and .RAR formats, with bunches of options for speeding up compression times and reducing file sizes.

Although many newcomers might be put off by the sheer range of features and settings within WinRAR, the interface doesn’t take long to get accustomed to. If you’re still really stuck there’s a simple wizard-based system that walks you through the process of extracting or compressing. All this adds up to make WinRAR a dependable utility that performs better than any other tool in its class.

Boasting more compression options, higher compression rates and smaller file sizes than WinZip, WinRAR is now the undisputed market leader in file compression.

The 7-Zip interface is similar to that of its competitors, with a main file manager and a command line to search and select files to extract or compress. The control panel has the essential basics like extract, add and test, as well as copy, move and delete functions to manage your files. 7-Zip extracts and compresses files as fast as WinZip and WinRAR and handles the main archive formats like ZIP, TAR, RAR and ISO.

The archiving process is where 7-Zip differs most from its rivals. Where WinZip only lets you compress to ZIP and WinRAR to RAR or ZIP, 7zip offers you up to 5 different archive formats to choose from. 7-Zip lets you choose the update mode, depending on whether you want to add and replace files, refresh the archive or just synchronize files. If you don’t want somebody opening up your archive without your permission, you can set a password to protect your archive.

We particularly liked the split tool as it can cut up your archive into equal parts which fit on a floppy, CD or DVD, handy if you need to distribute a particularly large archive. Unfortunately, security is where 7-Zip lags behind its main rivals. There is no option to scan archives for viruses and you can’t repair damaged or corrupted files.

7-Zip might not be as secure as WinZip or WinRAR but it is definitely more versatile. It works with more archive formats and offers many useful tools like update mode or splitting. If you feel too limited by WinZip and if you don’t like WinRAR, we suggest giving 7-Zip a try and taking advantage of all its possibilities.

Infinitely more flexible than its most famous rivals, 7-Zip is a great file compression tool.
