We just got a new computer with Windows 8. I have an old program that I wrote in Foxpro DOS 2.6 that I want to run on the new PC. I got DOSBOX set up, mounted, and working but I can't toggle to fullscreen like the docs say. Also, I can't find the conf file for DOSBOX. The location that it says it should be at does not exist. I really need fullscreen and would like to edit the dosbox.conf file if I could find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When dosbox says it's using a config at a specific path then this is what dosbox is using.
Just because you can't see it doesn't meanit doesn't exist...
