I've just installed VirtualBox 5.1.12 and when I start a virtualization it shows me a screen with "Merry Christmas". What's that??? I don't want this thing! How can I disable this wishes?

Hi,
if you want to disable it you have to execute following command (by CLI):
# VBoxManage setextradata global VBoxInternal/Devices/vga/0/Config/SuppressNewYearSplash 1
That said, starting from January 10th the "Happy Holidays" logo will be disabled automatically.
