Description
I have set up virtualbox to start up when the Windows user logins, By setting up the virtualbox command line tool to be run in a script on Windows user login, to start virtualbox on start up from a script when the windows user logs in. I wish for it to be started in fullscreen mode so the Windows UI is not visible at all, including the Windows taskbar covered up.
The problem is, after virtualbox starts when the user logs in, the Windows taskbar appears at the top of the screen even though virtualbox is in fullscreeen mode, and virtualbox loses focus. Virtualbox needs to add a stayontop option for use from the virtualbox command line tool to tell virtualbox to stay on top and regain focus if virtualbox happens to lose focus and make sure the windows taskbar stays covered up.
I also request a "screenmode" vboxclient option for specifying display mode to use, such as "fullscreen", when the vboxclient virtualbox command line program is used, to assure that virtualbox is started in fullscreen mode, by supplying this fullscreen option to vboxclient, when started from with vboxclient from my startup script.
