Because the -userconf parameter loads the default configuration file. You should use the -conf parameter instead.

This file will be created if it doesn't exist.

Important!: In Windows Vista/7 the configuration file won't work correctly
if it is located in "Windows" or "Program Files" folder or their subfolders,
or directly on c:\, so the best place for storing extra configuration files is
for example: C:\oldgames
You can edit the shortcut in the Windows start menu or make a new shortcut. Works with a batch file also.
Change this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe" -userconf
to this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe" -conf "x:\path\DOSBox-0.74.conf"

Where "x:\path\" is the path to the conf file you want to use.
