Execute Application in Guest OS trough shortcut on Host

Post by d4m4s74 »

Hi everyone.
I searched the forum, but I didn't see this question asked before.
I don't think it's possible, but I thought I'd just ask

Is it possible to make a shortcut in my host OS in order to start a certain application in my guest? (windows XP)
If so, how can I do this easily?

Thanks in advance.


PS. I'm using VirtualBox 2.1.4 right now, do I have to upgrade to a newer version to do this?

Can you start an application on a friends computer with a shortcut on your computer?
You really need to look at these as (2) separate computers in the same box.
