How to remove vmware player toolbar

[wilfy]

Does anyone know how to get vmware player to load up with out any tool bar options and to stop students from changing settings to the image?

I have had it setup in MS Virtual PC 2007 and got it just how I wanted it but then no usb support so I have had to import the image into vmware player.

We want to have a desktop for students to use visual studio but this has problems on our system with security so a virtual desktop is a great option but when i try to create one in vmware player V3 the student has options on the tool bar even if I set it up to full screen mode.

any ideas?

 

or anyone explain how to get a usb drive to work in MS virtual PC 2007

don't think you can remove the toolbar. I gave the students read only perms to the config file (VMX).

Just an idea, I know this would work on Solaris/Linux your mileage may vary for windows.

 

Use VirtualBox from Sun.

 

You can start a headless vm (no boot console)

Once started, connect direct through RDP.

USB suported

& No Menu bars at all!

 

Next step is to run your Virtual machine on a server, then your on your way to VDI!!
