0. Open your cmd prompt.
1. type `cd "c:\program files\sun\xVM virtualbox" <enter>'.
2. type `vboxmanage [insert your options here] <enter>'.

Note: the single quotes above are not to be typed.

The reason typing vboxmanage gave you that output is:
a) you were not in the directory which holds vboxmanage.exe or
b) that directory is not in your path.

This is an issue between you and cmd, not with vbox.
