Note
VirtualBox needs several kernel drivers installed and needs to start several services: if the drivers
and services are not already installed youll need administrator rights to run Portable-VirtualBox.
When Portable-VirtualBox starts, it checks to see if the drivers are installed. If they are not it will install them
before running VirtualBox and will remove them afterward. Similarly, Portable-VirtualBox checks to see if the
services are running. If not, it will start them and then stop them when it exits.
If you want to save space you can remove the language files for other languages than your own. That can save you
nearly 10 MB. They are in the nls directory.
You can also delete the documentation saving nearly 5 MB. You will find it in the doc directory.
When the VM is running you must press the Host-Key (initially configured as the right CTRL-Key) to be able to
use the other Hotkeys since otherwise the VM will have the focus.
