Hello,
Thought this tip would be useful for some people. I ran into lots articles detailing instructions for hiding the toolbar in VMWare Player 5 in Windows. Usually they were along the lines of:
- Open your preferences file (Win7 location example: C:\Users\{your_username}\AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini)
- Add the following line to bottom of file: pref.vmplayer.fullscreen.nobar = "TRUE"
- Save file, close down all VMWare Player instances...restart your VMs
This didn't seem to work for me. I noticed that on some forms people complained it did not work after they upgraded to a more recent revision of version 5 of VMWare Player. I did seem to get it working...
Instead of this:
pref.vmplayer.fullscreen.nobar = "TRUE"
You should put:
pref.vmplayer.fullscreen.nobar = 1
Worked for me!
