I recently ran out of disk space on my primary drive, and in the process of cleaning up, I moved my .vbox file to my secondary drive, and now VirtualBox complains that it cannot load the VM.
The path it's looking for is: "\Users\Andy\VirtualBox VMs\XP_on_my_laptop\XP_on_my_laptop.vbox"
however, the file is here: D:\Download\VirtualBox\VirtualBox VMs\XP_on_my_laptop\XP_on_my_laptop.vbox.
Is there a configuration file or registry key I can change so VirtualBox looks in the new location?

Re: Relocated VM
Just remove the VM from the gui and add one pointing to your .vbox file

Re: Relocated VM
Do you literally mean that you moved only the .vbox file?, or did you move the entire VM folder? If the latter, do what Zium said, i.e. remove VM from GUI, shut down and wait 30 secs, start up and use Machine|Add... to re-register the .vbox file from its new location.
