What is VBoxTray.exe ?
I don't see any icons in the system tray.
It appears to run a VM every time the computer starts up. How can I stop it?

Thank you,

I have figured it out.

I didn't know that VBoxTray.exe belonged to VBoxVmService. After I figured that out what I did was:


I had to install VBoxVmService first. Then I uninstalled VBoxVmService the service with this command:
VmServiceControl.exe -u [ENTER]
That stopped the auto run of VBoxTray.exe and VBoxSVC.exe at boot time.
Then I uninstalled the VBoxVmService software.
On the next Re-boot it didn't run.

Thanks,
