Virtual Machine Launcher

Post by omureadhaigh »

Hey Everyone,
I just have a quick and hopefully simple question.
I'm fairly new to the world of Linux and VirtualBox, so I don't quite know how all this stuff works.
Time for the question:
Is it possible to create a launcher to start a virtual machine? That is to say a launcher that will start my guest OS without having to open the virtual machine list.
