Simplifying the Screen Display
If you prefer, you can hide many of the controls visible in the console window.
Use the View menu to toggle the following controls on or off:
  • Inventory
  • Toolbar
  • Status bar
  • Virtual machine tabs
    • On a Windows host, you can also hide the menu bar. To do so, click the title bar icon, then choose Hide Controls.

    Choosing Hide Controls hides the menu bar, the toolbar, the status bar and the inventory.
    For the simplest possible VMware Virtual Machine Console window on a Windows host, first choose View > Virtual Machine Tabs to turn off the tabs. Then, from the title bar icon shortcut menu, choose Hide Controls.
