Igrnore all changes on shutdown?

Hello,

Is it possible to make it so when someone closes down the VM, if they (or another user) opens it then any changes the user has made are lost?

I want to basically open up a "clean" image everytime and any changes made since opening the image are lost on close/shutdown.

I have excluded the "state" switches with:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/RestrictedCloseActions SaveState,Restore
but if I, for example, open a VM and put a shortcut on the desktop and then close/shutdown the VM that shortcut is still there when it's re-opened again.

Is this possible?

Mark

Yes it is possible, you need to change the VM disks to "Immutable".
Each time you poweroff/poweron, they are reset.
