Make the following bat script (first make a text file then rename to .bat – make sure your Windows Explorer can see extentions) And put that in Start->Program Files->Startup

===START VIRTUAL BOX MACHINE: GOOD AT STARTUP===
“C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe” startvm Deb
 
===START VMWARE WORKSTATION: GOOD AT STARTUP – DID RESEARCH CANT DO WITH VMWARE PLAYER==
@echo off
chdir “C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation”
vmrun start “C:\Users\koss\Documents\Virtual Machines\FreePBX-A\FreePBX-A.vmx”
taskkill /IM vmware.exe

  1. Cool, the Virtual Box startup BAT works fine, thanks for the post.
    Do you have a BAT script that can halt Virtual Box and save machine state? Could this be triggered on a Windows shutdown?
