It is possible to move the menu bar to the top of the screen.

I have described it here: http://www.art0.org/techtips/general/moving-the-mini-menu-bar-in-fullscreen-virtualbox

YES!!!

There is!

First, shut down your virtual machine.
Next, go to the guest OS’s Settings, “General”, “Advanced” tab.
Check “Show at top of screen”, or Uncheck “Show In Fullscreen/Seamless”

Version 3.2.4 and the toolbar is still at the bottom and still in the way of the Windows start menu…

Unfortunately 3.1.2 OSE does not provide any advanced tab in the settings any more. How can I fix the position?

Guys, see the latest update to this post – it would appear that as of 3.0.8, you can put the toolbar at the top of the screen. Nick.

yea agreed! Its quite distracting to have it in the same place with the windows task bar. I have to shift my location of my task bar instead….

Definitely, the VBox tool bar is on the way in FullScreen mode…. They have to give an option to move it to the top…

HD – I was thinking the same last night, but there doesn’t appear to be any way to change the position of the bar. Bummer.
