Description
I'm running Windows XP SP3 as guest OS in a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit host. I've created a shortcut to the VM using the feature in VirtualBox Manager.
When starting the VM using the shortcut, the VM window is not brought to the foreground. Although it will appear on top of the desktop (if the shortcut is on the desktop), it will not have focus until you click in it or switch to it using Alt-Tab.
However, the VM window is brought to the foreground when started from VirtualBox Manager.
This seems to be a side effect of the recent Windows hardening changes, but I'm not sure.

Verified that the problem is still present in 4.3.18.
