If you create a new VM with the exact same settings, all you have left to do is copy the vdi file to your desktop PC and add it to the VM as it's hard drive. The default location for the VMs to be stored (including the virtual hard disk) is in your user profile folder\.virtualbox (C:\Documents and settings\<your user>\.virtualbox).
