Hello!
This dosbox works fine but I like to close automatically the dosbox window if I end the dos-game.

I created a link on my Win XP desktop to start dosbox and the dos game at the same time.
After I finished the dos game the dosbox window is still opend. OK, I could enter exit but it would be fine if dosbox would close automatically.

Any ideas or is it not possible ?

Cheers

😎

Simple. See DOSBOX.CONF, section [autoexec]. You can write there anything what you would write into a BAT file. So you can start the game by one command and use EXIT as another command.

Does that means I can only run one programm ?

As I understand I can only create one dosbox.conf

Or am I wrong?

You can create as much config-files as you like, use one of them like:
dosbox -conf configfile.

But you can also start dosbox like: dosbox -exit -c ...

And some advise: in your dosbox directory there's a file named readme.txt.
