I'm new to dosbox and am trying to create shortcuts on Vista, using dosbox ver 0.73, in this case for Dune 2

I have set the .conf file to always mount c:\Games, always in full screen

my shortcut then reads "c:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.73\dosbox.exe" "c:\DUNE2\DUNE2.exe"

Problem is it just launches DOSBox at the c:\ prompt so games is mounted but Dune 2 ain't playing. What am I doing wrong?

I got the details on mounting from the guides as well as the shortcuts but dosbox doesn't seem to read the second part of the shortcut. Can anyone else post something more useful than "Do it yourself"? Thought that was the point of a forum (referring to the previous post)
