| DOS shortcuts in WinXP
I've been installing a couple of older DOS games (like some of the KOEI products) in WinXP; they run without a problem. However, since they were never designed to run under Windows, they don't create shortcuts, and when I try to create shortcuts for 'em, they fail. I've attempted resetting the configurability screen for earlier Windows iterations; again, no deal. I can run command.com directly, move to the appropriate directory, and launch the batchfile needed to run the program, but if I attempt to do that by creating a shortcut, it fails.
Any ideas how to succeed in this?
I tried putting the KOEI.BAT within the batchfile line, but it won't load.
