Huh, that's funny because I've just started having problems with D-fend recently and I've never tried Dos-Boxer. Is it pretty intuitive to use? I'm going to have to check it out now, which is too bad because I've got all these saved profiles in my D-Fend program.

D-Fend and Boxer are only frontends that run DOSBox, I don't think they can be more problematic than a BAT file. If you don't configure them well or if they don't provide you 100 per cent of DOSBox's own flexibility, that's another issue. I used Boxer for a long time and I had no problems, I'm pretty sure it's safe but I don't think D-Fend is less safe and it's the frontend recommended by the DOSBox developers, and they know business. D-Fend is conceived to almost necessarily have one profile for each game, whereas in Boxer it's more straight forward to have one configuration for several games, although you can also make it launch a given game for you if you just put it in the autoexec section of Boxer, but that might be less GUI than what people are used nowadays.
Anyway I think I was using an old version of Boxer, and now I've switched to using DOSBox without frontend, with shortcuts and modified conf files when necessary. It's not hard at all once you've got used to configure those same things via frontend, and it gives you most flexibility and control, beats any frontend.
