Hello all

I am setting up virtual box in a educational environment that uses deep freeze. All users log in with their own active directory username and password to the domain. Currently the default machine folder defaults to the users profile. What I would like to do is set the default machine folder the same for all users so that It defaults to the computers thaw space. Is this possible?

Thanks!

No, you can't change the default machine folder without changing the source code. You can however change the actual machine folder for each user. It's quite dangerous however, since the VM registry would also have to be common to all users - which means the path to VirtualBox.xml would have to be set in the VBOX_USER_HOME system variable, and of course that location would have to be accessible to all users.
