When you send a VirtualBox client into fullscreen mode [Host + F], there's a small 'Mini Menu' bar pinned to the bottom of the screen that has Devices and Machine menus on it. This gets in the way, and although you can 'un-pin' it so it auto-hides, I keep bumping it in WinXP VMs when I'm mousing around the XP taskbar. Fortunately, the interwebs is our friend, and a kind blogger
pointed out that you can move the Mini Menu bar to the top of the screen:
- Make sure your VM is not running
- Open the Settings for that VM by right-clicking on it in the main VirtualBox GUI
- Go to General -> Advanced tab
- Check the Mini Menu entry for 'Show at top of screen'
You can also turn the thing off entirely, if so desired.
This was extremely helpful! That thing was so annoying popping up when I was trying to do something else. Thanks!
