Okay…this is not “yet another update” kinda post. If you thought that way, read the subject again. I had previously posted a tool to mount/unmount VHDs on a Windows Server 2008 system with Hyper-V and it works only if you have Hyper-V role enabled on the system because of its dependency on Hyper-V WMI interfaces.
Now, in this post, I am posting a new tool to mount / unmount VHDs by right clicking on a VHD file. This new tool will work on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 systems with or without Hyper-V role. This one uses diskpart commands available within this new OS and hence there is no dependency on Hyper-V WMI interfaces. So, you can use this new script only if your system has Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2008 R2 provides a way to mount / unmount VHDs from the disk management MMC. But, It takes too many clicks to do that 
and I prefer saving some clicks for more useful stuff.
To get the ability to mount / unmount VHDs using the right click context menu ( or what ever it is called), do the following
1. Download the zip file from here
2. Unzip the contents to C:\scripts or where ever you want
3. If you are unzipping the contents to a place other than C:\Scripts, you need to open vhd.reg in a notepad and update the path to VHDMount.cmd (Lines 14 & 19). Othewise, just skip this step and go to 4
4. Double click on the vhd.reg file. This will create registry entries required for the .VHD context menu
5. You are done. Enjoy…!!!
You will now see an option to Attach/detach VHDs by right clicking on them
