Running VirtualBox on Windows Login

Post by p8ball4life »

Hello,

I'd like to setup virtual box to run on login of specific users within vista 64bit. Doing so will allow my family to access the computer and download whatever they desire without the worry of them screwing up the install on the computer. Is it possible to add virtual box to automatically start up when the user logs in so that they are indeed using the virtual image and not the account itself?

In addition to this, is it possible to lock the virtual box so that they don't have access to the real account?

Any documentation would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tyler

You can use the VBoxSDL command to start the VM. See the --help output for how to use it in more detail.
