It sounds like you want the program to start when you turn on the computer. You can do this by placing a shortcut in the Startup folder of the Start menu. The DOSBox readme describes the Command Line Parameters you can use for that. Alternately you can use a front end to make the shortcut for you.

I have found the way but i have still one problem.
I have done as to run the program as i load windows but if i need to use just the DOSBOX to run another program, i nee to re edit the configuration file.
Is the a possibilty to use it in both the way?
Thanks
Enzo

You can use separate conf files specified in the command line of the shortcut you created.

Read the DOSBox documentation. The information you seek must be somewhere well hidden.
