Is there a way to not have the dosbox Status Window NOT on?

As well, is there a way to preset the position where the dosbox appears on the screen?

Ya thanks, that worked but I'm using winbatch to launch it so here's what you need if you happen to be using winbatch (The script is saved as RUNDOS.WBT):

;;;RUNDOS.WBT WINBATCH SCRIPT
run("C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe", "-noconsole -userconf")
winwaitclose("~DOSBox 0.74")

I have to put in a good word for Wilson Windowware Winbatch. It's much more than just a scripting language, actually quite robust. I prefer using it to C++ now. Has a visual editor and dynamic dialog callback procedures for easy programming and many other great features. It's about $100 US and a compiler for stand alones is available for around $400.00 with no strings attached distribution of your programs. Great tech support too.

I was also having trouble getting the CNTL-F!0 mouse lock toggle to work. It worked for a while then stopped. Is this because I changed the resolution? I think I saw something about that somewhere in this site
Anyway, using ALT-TAB unlocks the mouse and it relocks when left clicking as it should so I'll just use that if I need to re-position anything for now. Any advice on how to get CNTRL-F!0 working would be appreciated.
