Shortcut for DOSBox

[Ermine]

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get my brothers win 10 computer to run a dosbox program using the method described in the attachment.
It works fine on my XP machine,
The whole process seems to work fine right to the end but then doesn't work.
I suspect that it has something to do with the Target line in the Properties window, when double clicked it asks what program I want to use to open it again.

I wish I knew more about W10, any suggestions?

Thanks

lucky you, i spend days, to find the best dosbox config/load solution, here it is...

Shortcut-Example

%comspec% /C Start dosbox -noconsole -conf SBPro2.conf -c "mount c '%CD%\PLAY'" -c "C:" -c "cd DSA1-3" -c "cd DSA2" -c "imgmount D '%CD%\Play\DSA1-3\DSA2\Schweif.cue' -t iso -fs iso" -c "SCHWEIF.EXE" -c "Exit"

 

%comspec% /C Start = Starts the app without cmd window in Background (dosbox+conf are in the same place as the shortcut)

- noconsole = no console

- conf = your DOXBOX.conf

- c "mount c YOUR PATH (i used %CD% variable meant current dir

- than i switch to the mounted C

- go to the folder

- and mount an CD Image, the game needs

- run the game, and Exit the dos when the game close…
