Hi Everyone.
I have VMware Workstation 8 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. I would like to use the "Hide Controls" options as mentioned in the documentation (by clicking on the icon in the left hand corner), but the option never apears. I have tried deleteing/resetting my preferences.ini, and changing permisons to Administrator, but so far without success. I have searched the boards all morning for a soltuion to my problem, but the only reference was an unanswered question a year ago. Can anyone give a hint as to how to rectify this situation? Is there a key combination that would work as well?
Best Regards!
Ryan

Maybe this gets you what you need.

Thanks! Thats good enough for now.
We didn't delete this option, but we did hide it - good to know you really like it. There was not time to properly integrate it into the Customize feature for Workstation 8.0 and we didn't want a last minute "kludge".
In your preferences.ini file put the following:
pref.allowHideControls = "TRUE"
This will turn that functionality back on.
