Hi, I'm trying to make a shortcut to a game called Rayman Learning Center.
But I have to type a series of commands to get it to work, and I am wondering if there is a way I could get to the game immediately.

I usually have to type either:

mount d e:\ -t cdrom
d:
install

OR:

mount d e:\ -tcdrom
mount c c:\rlc1
c:
eduus1

Is there a way to make a shortcut that leads me directly to eduus1?
eduus1 shows up as a SAV and a CFG file on my computer but on Dosbox it shows up as a batch file.

Another approach would be creating a customized copy of dosbox.cfg and put it in the game's folder. Afterwards you can create a shortcut invoking DOSBox with that config file.

E.g. dosbox.exe -conf d:\games\game1\game1.cfg {you can rename dosbox.cfg to something shorter or something you like}

It will tell DOSBox to use customized config file located at that folder. Thus, you can have all neccesary options under the AUTOEXEC section for each game.

Put an exit command afterwards or inside a bat file if that's what's used for invoking a game.
