I have a VirtualBox VM set up on OS X Lion. How do I have it automatically start when I log into my account?

See apple.stackexchange.com/questions/3030/… but open the VM file to boot it rather than the VB app. – mankoff May 22 '12 at 4:07

Add the .VDI file for the VM you wish to auto run to your System Preferences > Users > Login Item. You can find the .VDI file in the folder of the VM. The default name of the folder VirtualBox saves these to is called VirtualBox VMs.
