Currently not. All such functionality needs to be implemented in the guest additions. By itself VirtualBox has no clue what logical structures exist inside a guest - it just virtualizes the CPU, the various peripherals etc. > Do you think it is practicable or just "mission impossible" (specialy in > case of Microsoft OS) ? It's certainly not impossible, bit it's a lot of work (and involves quite a bit of system programming). And as the windows guest additions aren't completely available in the open source edition (due to copyright issues, as it's almost impossible writing a windows driver from scratch without using driver source code samples (c) microsoft, which prohibits releasing the source), it's pretty tough. -- Dr. Klaus Espenlaub innotek GmbH, http://www.innotek.de _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
