Burn Image context menu item missing in Windows 7

Burn Image context menu item missing in Windows 7 My understanding is that in Windows 7 if I right click an ISO image I should have an option Burn Image, or if I double click an ISO I should get a dialog to let me burn the image....

The above will work but an easier fix in Windows 7 is to go to control panel, select "default programs" then select "associate a file type or protocol with a program", this will display a list of file types, select the ".iso" file type then press the "Change Program" button, then select "Windows Disk Image Burner". If it's not in the list, browse to C:\Windows\System32\isoburn.exe. Press "OK". All done. Right clicking an iso file will now display "burn disk image".

I tried the above fix, but .iso wasn't in the list of available file types. Right clicking on the iso file, selecting properties -> Open With allowed me to select Windows Disk Image Burner. Afterwards, the context menu contained the correct options and the .iso file type was available in the Default Programs list.

A simple workaround is to change the extension of the file, from .iso to .img.
