So, I'm a huge fan of Oblytile and I'm creating nice looking tiles to launch all my steam games from the start menu. However, I have a few non-steam games that require I mount a .iso file, and since Windows 8 can mount .iso files I wonder if there's a way to add some sort of secondary command line to my oblytile to mount the .iso and run the game launcher together with one start tile click. is it possible?

Ok, this article is great, but I'm not quite savvy enough to decode it myself. It looks like this guy found a cmdlet that mounts a folder full of .iso files. I cant quite tell whats cmdlet and whats his own folder names, though. which means i dont know where to paste in my folder names to test it out
Had to test this out a bit.
Command to mount the iso:
powershell "& {mount-DiskImage -ImagePath C:\MyImageFolder\MyImageFile.iso}"
To dismount:
powershell "& {Dismount-DiskImage -ImagePath C:\MyImageFolder\MyImageFile.iso}"
It might take a second or two to mount the image so you might want to add something to your script so it waits for the disk to mount before running the game.
