Move VirtualBox folder the @#$% out of my Documents
I absolutely LOATHE the fact that every program in the world has decided to dump a folder in to my My Documents folder. I've set the preference under general preference to my Virtual Machine folder on my Z:\ and it keeps resetting it to my My Documents folder. How do I give VirtualBox a hive five in the face with an orphan?

lol, that is a default for Windows. Perhaps you should ask MS why they do it that way.
Now the location of the guests can be set in the preference but any guest that was installed before you changed it will always reside in the documents folder unless you remove them (shut everything VBox down for 20 seconds) and then add them back in from the new location.
