Hide the Menu Bar and Status Bar in VirtualBox by Britec.co.uk

The menu bar and status bar prevent you from running at the maximum resolution (unless you use seamless mode). If you are using a computer with a small screen, such as a netbook, your screen real estate is very limited and you need to claim every inch of space you can.

There is a hack that allows you to switch off the menu bar and status bar and get your virtual machine to run in the maximum resolution.

Remove Bar

C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe setextradata global GUI/Customizations noMenuBar,noStatusBar

Replace Bar

C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe setextradata global GUI/Customizations MenuBar,StatusBar
