Startin a Win XP VM at the same date each time

Post by virtualboxuser123 »

Hello,
i wanted to ask how it is possible to start the virtual machine everytime at the same date (e.g. 24.12.11)?
Is it possible and if yes, can it be done without cli on the host system?
greetings
matt

i just figured out that if i take a snapshot the virtual machine saves the date, but i refreshs it after a short time, how can i turn of that synchronisation? is it enought to turn off the time sync of windows?
