I have a DOS app which writes certain files to the desktop when running under Windows, eg C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\DESKTOP\ - how can I address the c: drive under DOSBox?
Thanks

mount c c:\ (not recommended)
Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
Thanks - I wondered if that was the only way.

If it's running under DOSBox then how will it think it's running under Windows?
You could try mounting some other directory in DOSBox and then making a fake c:\docume~1\alluse~1\desktop\ tree from there. The game probably checks some environment variables though to find the path.
Ah, now there's a thought. I could mount d as c:\docume~1\alluse~1\desktop\ and write to d:\ - a similar approach would enable me to write to the desktop in Linux as well.
The app is an accounts package I wrote myself.
Many thanks
