Perhaps you've got a CD-rom lying around with a cool DOS game on it. An extensive list of all configuration options in the nf file can be found at the nf page on the DOSBox wiki. This (and other stuff from this page) also can be found on the DOSBox wiki in the Basic Setup and Installation section. See the installation manual of Tomb Raider in DOSBox for an example. If your games folder contains spaces, you have to put quotes around the folder path, for example: mount c "c:\games\dos games". On a new and empty line, type in mount c c:\games\dos. Windows 8: Press the Windows key + Q, type in dosbox and the options file should appear in the search results, click it. Windows 7: Press CTRL + ESC (or click the start button), type in dosbox and the options file should appear in the search results, click it.
If you use DOSBox a lot, you'll probably want to automate the mounting of the virtual DOSBox drive.
Mounting is a process that makes a storage device (hard disk, CD-rom, CD- or DVD image) accessible within an operating system or within certain software like DOSBox.
