I always hate having to open up dosbox and do all this stuff just to play a game so is there any way I can make some launch that when opened, it will open up dos box and the game automatically. I know it is possible but I don't know how to do it. Does anyone know how to do it.
Read the dosbox readme.txt:
Q: Do I always have to type these commands? Automation?
A: In the DOSBox configuration file is an [autoexec] section. The commands present there are run when DOSBox starts, so you can use this section for the mounting.

Ok, I'll try that.
I can't find anything in the readme that will help me.
gidierre already found that for you
?
I just quoted it
under [autoexec]
write the command strings you need:
mount c c:\[your directory]
mount d [your cd letter]:\ -t cdrom
then go on as you deem fit
EDIT
OK, fine then.

Never saw the quote. 🤣. Ok, I'll try that
How do I get to autoexec?
Scroll down.
scroll down what? I don't have any config file.
in start menu
Where in start menu? I have a Windows 7.
Windows7 has a start menu, too, check the programs there for dosbox.
I know where start menu is but I can't find this config thing that has autoexec in it.

I made a dosbox tutorial not long ago
and this is a screenshot from it:
on the right there's a cropped view of Vista start menu (Italian edition)
click on Start -> browse all programs
HTH
if it's v0.73 you have

In my dosbox folder, I can't find a configuration folder.
Ok, never mind I found this configuration folder. I was looking in the wrong place, windows explorer. Ok, I'll try to get this to work.
Ok, I'm in the configuration file but I don't know what to edit.
I know where kitchen is but I can't find this fridge thing that has food in it.
Ok, never mind I found this fridge thing. I was looking in the wrong place, bedroom. Ok, I'll try to eat now.
xD
Ok, I'm in the fridge but I don't know what to eat.
I think what he's looking for is a frontend like DFend Reloaded or DBGL (FYI TOTALLY RECOMMENDED IMHO). [autoexec] wouldn't be the solution to 'make some launch'.
