This should shut off the menubar

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata <vmname> GUI/Customizations noMenuBar
This turns it off on all guests

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Customizations noMenuBar
Be sure to backup the *.vbox and VirtualBox.xml files before you try

This is the line in the registry <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/ShowMiniToolBar" value="yes"/>
So this should do it

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata <vmname> GUI/ShowMiniToolBar no
