Re: Moved VMs won't show in VB.
What did you move? Where did you move it to?
If you move a vm from one PC to another, It does not appear in that PC's VirtualBox Manager window until you register the vm.

Re: Moved VMs won't show in VB.
To clarify: VirtualBox has a default VMs parent folder for neatness - but there is no requirement that VMs are kept there, and nor are VMs auto-registered by moving them into that folder. By all means move your VM into that folder, but as BillG says you still need to register the VM. See the FAQ below.

Thank you all very much, I forgot to register the VM's.
