Your desktop is not the root of your C drive (and yes, I know it can get confusing with how Windows presents it). Right-click OLDGAMES and choose Properties. See what's written next to Location - that is what you have to write in the MOUNT command instead of c:\OLDGAMES . |

This is a newbie-proof tutorial, you won't learn much but the drag'n-drop method could be a temporary solution: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=17498 But I really suggest you to follow the tutorials that Horseman linked you. |

| WWIIGUY | OK, so, I have DOSBox in downloads and my OLDGAMES file in desktop. Hope that's what you mean. | |

If you're familiar with what Windows calls "folders", that's the same thing as we call directories. They are similar to files, but unlike files - which contain data - directories contain other directories and files. |

| WWIIGUY | Is a directory the same as a file? What is a directory? | |

Where did you create the directory? Screenshot, please. Quote:

| WWIIGUY | OK, I read over the DOS for Beginners thread and it says to put each game in a sub-category. I don't know what that means. I'm also typing "mount C C:\OLDGAMES" which is verbatum the name of the file I made, anyway, when I type it in, it gives me "Directory C:\OLDGAMES does not exist" I don't know where to go from here. | |
