Fusion -> VBox migration and Quicken

I have been running VMWare Fusion and have recently migrated to VirtualBox. One of the things I use VBox for is running Quicken in my Windows XP guest (on my Mac OS X Snow Leopard host). When I installed Fusion, double-clicking on qfx files on my Mac automatically started up Fusion and "did the right thing". I don't recall doing anything to make that happen. However, now I would like the same action to start up Quicken in VBox. What do I need to do to make that happen? (If I do a Get Info on a qfx file, all I see is "open with Quicken Launcher" - so the information about associating Quicken Launcher with Fusion is somewhere else...)

Thanks.

Why would VMWare Fusion work in VirtualBox (or any other non-VMWare system)?

Fusion enables you to link a native mac icon to an app on the guest os. Not sure if virtualbox has this feature.
