Hi everyone,

Sorry if this has been posted before, I have run a search a couple of times and didn't find anything. So here goes.

As the title suggests, I am looking for a way to create a launcher on my AWN dock that starts Virtualbox and loads a specific virtual machine at the same time. So I wouldn't have to select it from the list and click on "start". This is because I only have one virtual machine setup, a Windows XP guest which I use for an application that is designed for Windows only.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Ben

Create a shortcut and:
VBoxManage startvm <your virtual machine name>
