Suppose you installed VB, then you should define a default directory for it , and after it when you create a guest, VB create a dir in default directory named as your guest.Indeed your default dir is

Code: Select all

~/Virtualbox VBs
and your guests in the given dir.So i need to have many default dir, how i do it?

Oh no, I know that, I want to set it seperately for each guest.

Then you do that at the creation of the guest. When asked click the folder icon and set it where you want.
