DOSMENU 2.0

How to create/edit Menu entries

The root menu entries are configured in the DOSMENU.DAT file. Every Menu Entry is configured like this:

  [Menu Entry Name]
  BoxArt=<boxart image name without extension>
  Description=<description text>
  Exec=<execution commands>
  Config=<configuration commands> (Optional)
        

Example:

  [Microsoft Windows for Workgroups]
  BoxArt=windows
  Description=by Microsoft
  Exec=CD \WINDOWS>WIN
  Config=CD \WINDOWS>SETUP
        

The BoxArt images are located in the BOXART subdirectory. Read more on the How to use BoxArts page.

The Execution and Confguration Commands are DOS-Commands which are used to execute or configure this menu entry. Each command is seperated by a greater-than symbol (>).

Example:

  MS-DOS Commands to run Windows:
  CD \WINDOWS
  WIN

  in DOSMENU:
  CD \WINDOWS>WIN
