What is the best program to use to mount the img file created by your Disk Image program as a drive letter?

Ive been asked this one a few times and i know there is a program that can do it.. but unfortuantely i cant for the life of me find their message or the info about which program can do it! I know if you want to extract the files from teh .IMG file you can use something like PC Recovery's File Restore Professional but other thatn that im not too sure!

How do you mount it with Truecrypt? I already use that for encrypted volumes but can't see how to use it with your images. "Mount Image Pro" will mount them perfectly, but at $300 !!!!

It seems to be something that is easy in Linux, but virtually impossible in Windows.

Linux is so wonderful! I love it to death!! I know you can just mount them witha mount command (sometimes you need -o loop i think it is) Windows does make things very hard at times... Im not really sure about the truecrypt thign as ive only heard about it from other users... Sorry i dont have an easy answer!! perhaps if i get time ill write my own mount app!

Cheers!
