Yes you can. http://www.dosbox.com/DOSBoxManual.html#InternalPrograms

Sorry but i could not work it up.
What I have to do it is to call a program that is in:
B:\xxxx\xxxx.exe
The program has to call a dat file that is in:

c:\users\username\documents.

As before I had all on one Hard drive I used a conf file
Placed in:

C:\users\username\appdata\local\dosbox

And in that conf file I have the following commands:

Mount c c:\
C:
Cd xxx
Xxx -fc:\users\username\docume~1\xxxx.dat

Thanks for help

mount c b:\
mount d c:\users\username\docume~1\
c:
cd xxx
xxx -f d:\xxxx.dat

mount c b:\
mount d c:\users\username\docume~1\
c:
cd xxx
xxx -f d:\xxxx.dat

Thanks it seems it works if i give the commands into the Dosbox but do
not work if i put the commands in an .conf file.
Any help?
Thanks

copy & paste from your conf file and what error do you see in the dosbox window when you run dosbox with this conf file?

There should be no difference either you put commands in [autoexec] section or type in DOSBox by hand. Check that it's the same, for example I've inserted the space between '-f' and 'd:\xxxx.dat'. Also sometimes OS manages standard folders by special way and moving .dat to folder like c:\dats\ may change something.

So what i done is:
- The Program is called Ricorda and it is in the B: drive as also the Dosbox program and as O.S. i'm using Windows 10.
- The .dat file which is the data file for the Ricorda program is in C:\Users\username\Documents\
- The .conf file is in c:\users\username\appdata\local\dosbox
- The .conf file has these instructions:

[autoexec]
mount c b:\
mount d C:\Users\Enzo\Docume~2\
c:
cd ricorda
ricorda -fd:\ricorda.dat
exit

As you can notice in the .conf file, the Documents folder has been put as docume~2 as dos does not
recoignize the long name.

- The shortcut i've made in the Startup folder, because it has to run as Windows is loaded has these instructions:

B:\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe -fC:\Users\username\AppData\Local\DOSbox\test.conf

When i run the program i get the error of the Ricorda program which it says it cannot find the ricorda.dat file.
Thanks

Why are you using B:?

Can't you just put the executable and the .dat file in the same location?

I am using b: because i have an SSD HD called C: that contains just the O.S. while
all the programs are in the B: drive

In your mount d path don't shorten it but use the full path but put it in quotes

You mean like this?

"mount d C:\Users\Enzo\Documenti\"

DOSBox.exe -conf c:\test.conf

Documents folder has been put as docume~2 as dos does not recoignize the long name

'mount' command is DOSBox's one, not DOS's one

mount d "C:\Users\Any folder\"
maybe short folders names are not supported for mount in autoexec section

OK it worked?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks to evrybody
