I'm not mounting all the hard drives for gaming purposes, I do it for development. For games, I mount the game folder itself as L:\ then have DOSBox launch the game from there.
I've been using DOS since the 3.20 days (around 1987) & sometimes, an old sk00l3r just likes to do things the old fashioned way. I like the user friendability that the MS "command here" powertoy adds to Windows, however, the MS emulator lacks in areas where DOSBox obviously surpasses, not only in performance of games but just... DOS.
I'd just much prefer using DOSBox over the MS-DOS emulator, however, I don't want to be restricted to not being able to go to parent folders (i.e. using the existing "Open DOSBox here") & I'm not going to want to manually change over to whatever sub-folder (starting up DOSBox launching the dosbox.conf).
Look, I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, I'd just like to be able to have the best of both worlds. If no one can figure out how to do it then fine, thank you for your time. Eventually, I will figure it out. I was just hoping someone could lend a helping hand.
Either way, thanks for your time.
