Using VirtualBox 5.1.18 under Windows 7 Pro 64 here. Have guest that is Lubuntu 16.0.4 LTS, but was originally set up as 14.04. The name on the tabs of the Virtual Box Manager still shows my original name for it, even though I have changed it in the General tab of the Details section. So now the Name field is different than the left pane where all of the VMs are showing. How do I change the name so it matches? This is only a minor issue, but it does throw me sometimes.
I thought when I changed it in Settings|General|Basic it would reflect the new name.
See screenshot attached.

Re: Change name of Guest in Virtual Box Manager
The name is the same: "Lubuntu", the bold part.
What differs is the state; you're using snapshots and you're at snapshot "LTS 14.04".

Re: Change name of Guest in Virtual Box Manager
Thanks. Should have known it was that simple. I have created a new snapshot, and things aren't as confusing now.
