Hello

Is there a way to mount a directory with path based on host windows system variables? I'd like to mount something like this:

mount c %userprofile%\somedir

DosBox seems not to see host system variables ;(

Best regards

dosbox -c "mount c %useprofile%" ?
or some thing like that.

This should be in dosbox general [moved]

the drive is mapped after running autoexec from config file...

dosbox -c "set blah=%userprofile%" -conf myconfigfile
