vboxvmservice is great. It's also case sensitive with Oracle

This happened after I changed to Oracle from Sun.
I had to global search and replace Sun for Oracle in the VBoxVmService.ini as well as change my lazy lowercase only
VBOX_USER_HOME=c:\Documents and Settings\username\.VirtualBox to proper case.

Further testing proved it wasn't working as expected on reboot, even if it could work from command line. I'm not going to fight this, so I put the VBOX_USER_HOME info in the global environment variables and it worked quite nicely.
