Why isn't there just one button, if the pushing all the combination of buttons is really just smoke&mirror?
1. Most (but not all) games can be started by dragging needed file onto DOSBox icon. It will automatically execute for you this two commands:

mount c [gamepath]
[gamename]

i.e. if you'll drag game.exe, it will automatically start it. If you'll drag GAMES dir, it will mount GAMES as C. If you'll drag D:\GAMES\SORCERER\SORC.INI, it will mount D:\GAMES\SORCERER as C and will give you the error "cannot start SORC.INI".

2. Use Ykwong build (Yay! Ykwong is alive! New, 2015 build! I was worried.) It gives you windows menues, invaluable for the mounting CDs and floppies.

My favorite now is JPG.

Please, dear Japo and SS do not open dispute on this case.
TY
JPEG is invaluable when you need to stick many info in the little size. Like on this forum.

If I need to preserve full info in the minimum space I am using PNG too.
