Hide Menu Bar and Status Bar in VirtualBox by Britec

When you run a virtual machine in VirtualBox, there is always a frame around the virtual machine desktop with a menu bar at the top and a status bar at the bottom.

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

There is a hack that will allow you to disable the menu bar and status bar and run your virtual machine at maximum resolution.
