Solve : vmWare vSphere client full screen issues?

Answer»

Hello to everyone!

I have vmWare hypervisor hanging out on a server, and I use ONE virtual machine with a desktop install of windows 7 to manage everything inside the network when I connect to the vmWare box remotely. This allows me to get to router web panels, ssh into MACHINES, and all the like without having opened up no more than the two ports that vmWare vSphere needs to communicate to the server.

In either event, I like to use that one management VM in full screen mode whenever I am doing something more involved, essentially making it seem like the vm was the OS on my client computer.

Either way, vmWare is giving me this annoying bar at the top. I can not click through it, nor see through it, making it impossible to reach TABS in firefox without re-sizing the firefox window so the tabs WOULD not be at the very top of the screen. (EDIT: I know I could use keyboard shortcuts, but it still prevents me from seeing tab titles, etc. Would still like to just find a way to hide it/get rid of it)

Is there anything, anywhere saying how to get rid of that? I have looked through some online documentation, looked through vCenter's settings, and have found nothing.

Well, thanks in ADVANCE if anyone has a solution to this I can use.

[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]I haven't used VMware for a while, but I would be inclined to say that's not removable if there's nothing you can see in their documentation or the settings.
If it was, then how would you exit the VM? There would have to be some kind of shortcut, but then they couldn't guarantee it wouldn't conflict with a shortcut set up on your host or VM, so there could be unwanted effects. I can see why it's annoying, but equally I can see why it's there.
It would be better if it would autohide after a short period of time, like Windows' built in Remote Desktop.
