Does anyone know how to do this?

On the host machine, it's got autologon, I want it to start up Virtualbox and then start a specific machine
 
Got it.. found it in the help file


"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" startvm MACHINENAME

another handy one..

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" controlvm MACHINENAME savestate


That save's the current state for a super quick resume, I've added that to the shutdown batfile for the host machine
