Greetings,
In the "Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager", how can I change an icon that is associated with a VM?
I have a DOS VM.
I, then, used a clone of that VM, to install Win95.
So what is now a Win95 VM still displays a DOS icon.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Re: Change icon
You don't change the icon, you change the guest version. VM Settings » General » Basic » Version.
