    I'd like dosbox to immediately start a game if I click on dosbox, like most games from the Id collection on steam do.

    I'd like to be able to immediately start my sierra quest games.

    I recommend getting D.O.G. frontend to make it easier to setup Dosbox for a particular game, because you will want to play with the settings a bit to get optimum performance and nice graphics: http://www.freewebs.com/erikgg/
    When you have made the game profile (config file for Dosbox) with it, choose Profiles menu and Save Profile link (a shortcut) where ever you want.
