Remove "C:\Users\myname\.VirtualBox" folder, Why configuration information is still? !


In Windows 7 64bit host OS, exit the VBox.

I delete "C:\Users\myname\.VirtualBox" folder.

Run the VBox again.

But the VBox Settings and all virtual machine Settings are still in the VBox GUI.

And then the "C:\Users\myname\.VirtualBox" folder has been restored.

Why?!

Are the configuration information of VBox also saved in other place?

Search for VirtualBox.xml and see where it is being stored?

I searched all place of my computer, including the registry, still did not find the trail. ultimately.
Uninstall and setup virtualbox again, it was normal.

I deliberately changed ID of disk image in Virtualbox.xml, the VBoxGUI error in creating.
And then I deleted the Virtualbox.xml, VBoxGUI initialized, manually add all kinds of images in virtualbox.xml.
