Where does Virtualbox store VMs in Windows XP?

For whatever reason I was having a brainfart about where my VMs were stored whilst in the process of backing them up. Google searches returned very little pertinent information as the search terms involved are used in myriad different contexts in relation to Virtualbox and virtualization in general. The answer is of course:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Virtualbox VMs\

I'm sure this is configurable, but this appears to be the default directory under an XP host. Happy virtualizing!
