I have created a graphics (.TIF) file using some old dos software in dosbox. I now want to save it back in my windows folders so I can use it in a document. How do I do this?

No the c drive in Dosbox is a folder on your hard drive.
If you
'mount c c:/dosgames'
in dosbox the c drive of dosbox is the folder c:/dosgames on your hard drive. Unless you imgmounted a hard drive image...
Give us your mountings and where you saved the tiff files and we tell you where this is on your hard drive 😉
