Why LemEdit won't work under XP

[Isu]

Odd.  Can you give a listing of what's in the directory?

Do you get the same problem with the original LemEdit?

It's okay. I just read the DosBox Readme, it said I could drag the file I want to open onto the DosBox exe. That I did, and it worked (Lemedit2 that is).

Everything is fine.

adding a "Send To" link is a good alternative to drag-n-drop

Or even better, does anyone know how to add functions to the context menu of DOS programs, such as opening it in Dosbox? It should be in the system registery, but where?

I don't think it's quite that simple.  Then again, I never tried.

Is there a way to tell DosBox to execute certain commands upon launching?  After all you need it to mount c: first before you can run anything of interest.

If that's possible then it's just a matter of making a shortcut for DOSBox.

using a "Send To" link automatically mounts the directory of the application as c:
the only thing that this doesn't do well is Custom Lemmings which requires a cdrom to be mounted

I've created a registry hack to add DOSBox to the context menu of applications. >Download!<

 It works in XP, not sure about the other systems, but it's really only XP users who need DOSBox. If you have a different version of DOSBox, or it is installed somewhere other than C:\Program Files, you can change the path by editing the .reg file in notepad.

 Let me know if for some reason it doesn't work or you don't want it but don't know how to remove it.

Can't that be taken care of with a batch file?  (I haven't tested this though.)

probably.
