Hello Peter,
When you create a VM in the GUI, it is automatically registered. When
you create it in VBoxManage, using the "createvm" option, you can pass
the "-register" switch to register it. If you do not, "createvm" will
create an XML file in your $HOME/.VirtualBox directory. It is this
which must be registered with VirtualBox in order to start it.
Regards,
Michael
