I have a Linux host with a Windows XP guest machine. I need that Windows XP machine starts after the user does login on Linux. So, how do I start my VirtualBox machine on login?

Add this to your startup applications (assuming you've got something with the Gnome desktop environment, you didn't say wich distro you're using): virtualbox --startvm <name>, replacing <name> by the name of the virtual machine you'd like to start.

  • using the headless option might be useful too, depending on how he accesses the VM

Sounds like you need a linux logon script. Maybe in bash. Here is a post of a guy doing it in slackware with virtual box.
