VMWare Fusion 3.0 Status Menu Bar Icon

[erocha]

I just installed VMWare Fusion 3.0. I have now a VMWare Fusion Icon on the status menu bar. I do not use Windows very often and it just bugs me to have an extra icon on the status menu bar. I understand that this icon provide easy access to my virtual machine but there has to be a way to enable and disable this functionality depending on your needs.

Does anybody know how to disable the VMWare Fusion 3.0 icon on the status menu bar?

I just noticed the menubar item as well and looked everywhere with no luck for how to turn it off for the same reasons, I hardly ever run VMWare and I don't want to see the Finder menubar item all the time. I expected to find a setting in VMWare Fusion preferences, there should be a global preference there to never see it or only see it if VMWare Fusion is running if that is what you want.

When accessing Virtual Machine/Settings, I expect settings specific to each VM.
