I have some MSDOS programs installed on my computer that windows XP won't run properly. I downloaded a DOS emulator (DOSBOX) but it's a hassle to use. My question is this, Is there a way to set it up so that when i run my dos programs it automatically runs them through dosbox? You know, like how if you right click on some files (like .txt) you can choose OPEN WITH . . . and then choose which program to run them through, like that except it doesn't work like that for programs.

Then why are you using XP for your dos programs?
 
Hi,

DOS is not fully supported by XP.

Please see the compatibility process supported by XP to see if you can run your programs.

click on Start | Programs | Accessories | Program Compatibility Wizard and follow instructions.
