How do I unpack these compressed files?

.bin
.cue
.iso

These are files commonly associated with an image of CD and DVD. There are two ways to open these files, they are:

Method 01

Burn them to a disk, programs such as Nero or NTI does a pretty good job, these programs will extract the compress file while burning it to the CD or DVD. This method requires a blank CD or DVD.

Method 02

It doesn’t make any sense to burn the file to a CD when u only needs to access the information once in a while. You can access these files with a virtual CD or DVD emulator without ever burning them. Some of the free tools available are Daemon Tools and Microsoft Virtual CD control panel.
