Create a unique config file for each program, then for each create a shortcut to dosbox.exe with the additional command line parameter -conf gameconfigfile.conf.

edit: You can create the config files by just copying the original config file. Add the mountings and directory changes to the autoexec part at the end.

You can create each shortcut by right clicking on dosbox.exe, then Create Shortcut, then moving it to your desktop. Finally, access the shortcut's properties from the context menu and add the command line parameter to the end of Target.

I think I understand what you're describing, but I'm not sure how to make it work exactly. Here's what I have to do to run Gizmos & Gadgets:

1. Open DOS Box
2. type: mount c c:\Gizmos_and_Gadgets
3. type: c:
4. type: ssg -gv

Game then runs and it's great.

If I create a shortcut and then modify the command line parameter, how do I get it to enter multiple lines? or can all of those steps be executed in one line?

I want to set the game up on my little sister's computer, and I don't want her to have type a bunch of DOS commands in to be able to play. I guess I just want slightly more specific instructions.

Mr. Ripa said everything you need to know. Lines in the [autoexec] section at the end of DOSBox.conf run automatically when DOSBox is started, you see, so the only command line parameter you need is the location of a DOSBox.conf with the relevant lines in its [autoexec] section.

Or you can just use a frontend, as Mr. DosFreak suggests.

P.S. Some (but not all) games do not expect to be run from C:\ and will not work correctly if they are run from C:\. You should store your game in c:\whatever\Gizmos and then use
mount c c:\whatever
c:
cd Gizmos
ssg -gv

D-Fend Reloaded is also a very user-friendly option for Windows users.

Wow, thanks so much.
