DOSShell is an x86 applications launcher (by using outstanding DOSBox emulator) plus convenient Explorer-like entries manager.

Use this a so called frontend for the DOSBox and forget about boring commands typing: you can run your games and programs by one click. It's so easy as you run applications with Windows Explorer!

Key Features:
  • You can add new records into an applications list.
  • You can edit properties of existed entries.
  • You can delete unnecessarily entries.
  • Convenient user interface.
  • The program is absolutely free.

What's New
What's new in the DOSShell 1.5 (comparing to v1.4):
  • Enhanced compatibility with the latest Windows versions, Vista and Seven.
  • Removed the Help button from the Add/Edit Entry window and from the Preferences dialog: there is no budget to build a complete help file in the nearest time.
  • Improved bahaviour of the standart program messages.
  • Status bar now shows the long version of hint message.
  • Corrected a few typos in the various text labels.
  • Added support for the latest DOSBox version 0.73. It doesn't store .conf in the installation dir anymore, so DOSShell learned detecting an actual path in the user directory.
  • Added a feature of renaming the current group.
  • Now you can delete a group with all its contents.
