How can I make a batch file to call and run a certain DOS program on my Hard disk through DOSBox by just one click?

or:

c:\path\to\dosbox\dosbox.exe -conf game-specific.conf

and put the command to run the game into the autoexec section of that conf file. That way you can use the conf options that work best with this particular game.

You can also just use a Windows shortcut, instead of a batch file.
