Changing system/app default for settings
I would like to be able to set the default values for "Shared Clipboard" and "Drag N Drop" on VBox to "Bidirectional". As it is currently I have to go in and change it every time I create a new VM. There should be a way to set my own preferred defaults for any new machines I create.
