Is there a way to use my vbox's OS on my second monitor like a totally different computer?
I extended the current display to the secondary display(my other monitor) then dragged the win xp window of vbox to my second monitor. So the vbox's guest OS is in my second monitor. So my vbox os(xp) is shown on the 2nd monitor nicely like a window,not in full screen mode.When I switch to full screen,it comes back to my original display ! I want to use Vbox in my 2nd monitor with full screen. Is there a way?
my primary monitor is the laptop monitor (LCD 15.6 ) .extra monitor is 17" CRT
Is there a way to use my vbox's OS on my second monitor like

Look for the mini-toolbar, select the monitor to use there.

In full screen the mini toolbar is at the bottom of the screen (mouse over) unless you turned it off or moved it to the top.
