Freeware alternative to Daemon Tools?

[PoorlyHung]

Hi all,

 

Call me paranoid, but I don't trust Daemon tools, and I don't like that it runs on startup.  I have gone into msconfig, disabled its startup entry.  That used to work, I think the developers caught onto that, and made changes in newer releases.  I've even gone into regedit, deleted the startup entries there, but after launch of daemon tools, those entries are restored.  I''m very particular about what programs run at startup, and daemon tools is pissing me off. LOL

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you!

I remember I used one earlier... I forget what it's called. I'll edit this post if I find it.

Virtual CloneDrive is quite good but now I use Daemon tools since it's so simple but anyhow that is a good alternative.

My deamon tools doesn't load at start up o_o (after I told it not too)

Try deamon tools lite.

If you just want disc drive emulation then MagicDisc

I did that, but it still appears.  Looked all through the options.

It's a software that lets you create a virtual drive, like making the computer think it has another DVD drive when it's really just the software.

 

It's used by some people to install pirated games.

Windows 8, if you already have it.
