Seamless (windows) mode enabled with startup

Post by c.monty »

hi!

with command

Code: Select all

VBoxManage startvm <uuid>|<name>

one could start the VM guest from a script.

can I put the VM guest in seamless (windows) mode after startup automatically?

If you shut down the Guest when in Seamless, it will be saved for next runtime. It will switch to seamless after you're logged on, because it's a GA feature (the service is loaded when you log on). There is a variable in the config file too, and when it's set to TRUE, it will be enabled on boot of the VM.
