I'm not sure if anybody else does this, but I set a context menu entry for .com, .bat and .exe files in my Linux file managers to run them with DOSBox.

I recently did the same for Windows the other day and thought I'd upload it in case somebody else would be interested:

Zip File

It works by using a batch file/script to read the defined dosbox.conf, swapping the mount point for C to be the called program's directory then running it. It's all done via the command line so it won't write to your config at all.

Here's an example of it under Windows XP:

You've been registered since 2003, and this is your first post, and you bumped a 5 year old thread.

... BUT the links in the original post are DEAD! So what I'll say is CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS! 🤣
