Thanks, I would like to hide the taskbar and launch software from the Ubuntu menu.

You can also just drag the taskbar to the side or top of screen

You can't access applications inside your virtual box from outside it. This is by design. There is running an encapsulated virtual PC on your host (Ubuntu).

Currently not possible, but we'll add this in a future version.

Hi Sander,
very goood!
You build really very nice features into VirtualBox.
(But what is with such essential functions like shared folders?
Don't expect an answer, I know you are working on it.)

We'll look into shared folders soon. Don't worry, it's just that we have a million things to do.

Hi Sander,

It's nice to have a new release so soon. I had a look and the changelog and found this about seamless mode : "GUI: several fixes and improvements to seamless mode". I had also a look at the user documentation.

I wounder if you had enough time to add this two features :
- option for hiding the windows taskbar
- launch windows software from the Ubuntu menu ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Your seamless windows suggestions are planned. Maybe for the next (major) release.
