4. I have run system restore to the last available restore point - not helped
5. I have installed older versions of virtualbox 4.1.x - same problem
6. removed USB support and Bridged Network support - same issue

which demonstrates that I have access to the folder.An error occured while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle VM VirtualBox
