Virtualbox 5.0, host taskbar buttons

DVOM · 07-15-2015, 08:19 PM

I've got VB 5.0 installed and the issue is that each monitor creates 2 host taskbar buttons. So with my 3 monitors, I've got 6 taskbar buttons in the host. It's not a deal breaker but it takes up a lot of space.

Any ideas how to remedy this?

TIA

Sorry no one has a great solution. Might as well post a bug report at Oracle.

Hey jefro, thanks for the response. I was using VB 4.3.28 and got a message to upgrade to 4.3.30 so I went to the VB site and saw 5.0.0 and installed that. I decided to go with the 4.3.30 and the problem disappeared and I don't get any upgrade messages. So maybe 5.0.0 isn't ready for prime time.

I was using the beta and just read 5 is out final.

Normally I'd suggest to run a new clean install of some OS and a vm and see if it happens again but I get the feeling it is related to 5.
