Suggestion: Disable File/Help menu on the new VM creation

[ddixuike]

In VM User Interface settings, there are [File/Machine/View/Input/Devices/Debug/Help] and all enabled by default.

My suggestion is set File and Help disabled by default, because these menus refers to global VirtualBox settings, but not for each running VM setting. I don't think putting shortcut menus to global settings on every VM window is good idea.

I understand your intention but please keep in mind that sometimes a VM is started without the VM manager and it's very convenient to even change the language (in the global settings). I suggest you disable the menu items which you don't want by default and check the extradata items of the VM:

VBoxManage getextradata VM_NAME enumerate | grep "GUI\/RestrictedRuntime"

To disable the File and Help menu for a VM, do

VBoxManage setextradata VM_NAME "GUI/RestrictedRuntimeMenus" "Application,Help"

or just apply all extradata keys from the above 'enumerate' command which you find convenient. We don't want to change the defaults for new VMs but you could write a small script which hides menu items according to your requirements for new VMs.
