<p>
VirtualBox Manager is the user interface for Oracle VM VirtualBox. You can use
VirtualBox Manager to create, configure, and manage your virtual machines.
</p>
<p>
This section describes the main features of the VirtualBox Manager user
interface. Subsequent sections and chapters describe how to use
VirtualBox Manager to perform tasks in Oracle VM VirtualBox.
</p>
<p>
When you start Oracle VM VirtualBox, the
<b outputclass="bold">VirtualBox Manager</b> window is displayed.
</p>
<p><xref href="#gui-virtualboxmanager/fig-vbox-manager-initial"/> shows VirtualBox Manager the
first time you start Oracle VM VirtualBox, before you have created any
virtual machines.

<p>
The main components of the VirtualBox Manager window are as follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">The machine list.</b> The left
pane of the <b outputclass="bold">VirtualBox
Manager</b> window lists all your virtual machines. If
you have not yet created any virtual machines, this list is
empty. See <xref href="gui-machine-list.dita#gui-machine-list"/>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">The Details pane.</b> The pane on
the right displays the properties of the currently selected
virtual machine. If you do not have any machines yet, the pane
displays a welcome message.
</p>
<p>
The toolbar buttons on the Details pane can be used to create
and work with virtual machines. See
<xref href="gui-details.dita#gui-details"/>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Help Viewer.</b> A window that
displays context-sensitive help topics for VirtualBox Manager tasks.
