Hi ,

Is there any variable to set in the virtualbox to avoid the virtualbox information boxes when starting the virtual machine GUI.

Thanks

You can check the "Do not show this message again" tickbox

This solution will work on switching on the node i.e once a user to have to click on that check box
Is there any solution so that this pop window wnt come after switching on the node

hi noteirak,

we know that if we check that box it will not display that information box. Is there any way to avoid to display such type of informations boxes

[noteirak]

If there is a setting to disable them all, I do not know it - I leave other people who might answer this

VB saves all those settings in an XML file (help document, Advance Topics, Virtualbox configuration data) which you would not edit. The VboxManage command has a way to edit the settings properly, and there appears to be a way to edit the warnings so they wouldn't appear.
Open a command window so you can use Vboxmanage and enter this command:

vboxmanage getextradata global enumerate

here's what I got:

It seems the "SuppressMessages" section might show you what keys need to be edited using "vboxmanage setextradata". You could read up on it in the help doc's.
