 To stop a headless VM, make a batch file containing:
 <code>
-cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtual Box"
 VBoxManage controlvm {uuid} acpipowerbutton
 </code>
 This will shutdown the VM properly. If for some reason the VM does not respond to it you can us 'poweroff' instead. This simulates a hard shutdown.
