Dosbox Tutorial Recording
 

I would like to record a tutorial for setting up Dosbox, and then installing Norton Commander (as in Fifths Tutorial) however I am not to sure about setting up Dosbox in the users area. As I am the only user and the admin for my computer my Dosbox has always worked fine without being setup in the users area.

So far I know how to mount the file I need to, however to do so I need to do this,

mount c c:\users\daniel~1\oldgames

I didn't know that long filenames would need to be entered like that, or is it because I have a space in the folder name and Dosbox doesn't understand that?

I just want to make sure that when I tell people how to mount their user name that I am doing it right. At the moment I plan on telling people to mount c:\users to check what their user namer folder will be called.

Use apostrophes (or what ever they are called):
mount c "c:\users\what ever"

IIRC, the quote marks are only required if the path contains spaces.
It's because no command line utility can tell the difference between a space that's part of an argument and one that separates arguments. That's what the quotation symbols are for - "This string continues until you find a matching quotation mark." :)

If I tell people to use the quotes and it doesn't have any spaces that will still work correct?

If so that will be a lot easier to explain.

Correct.

Excellent thank you to both of you..I will get to recording this tonight.

It's caused by the space, but not only by that, if the folder has more than 8 characters, it's shortened this way..

Sorry:
