I have a Linux host and a winXP guest as my VM.
In the meantime I have created some snapshots of this VM and I also have deleted some snapshots, so that at the moment I only have a snapshot with the name "current state".
Is there a way to find out, when I have created this VM? (I mean not the actual snapshot.) Or when I have started this VM the first time? (I mean not when I have started the snapshot "current state" the first time.)
Thank you.
When did I have created my VM?

Re: When did I have created my VM?
AFAIK, VirtualBox does not store the creation date/time of a VM. The most common Linux file systems (ext2, ext3, ext4) do not have a file creation date/time. The most common Windows file systems (NTFS, FAT) do have a file creation date/time.
So you could for example look up the creation date/time of the C:\Users folder, to find out at what date/time you installed Windows XP.
