Now let's talk about how to make your VirtualBox better.

Install VirtualBox Guest Additions
Click into the guest after you will find that the mouse and keyboard can only be used in the guest, and to switch out need to press the right side of the CRTL, more inconvenient. In fact, only when VirtualBox guest additions is installed, VirtualBox can switch freely between guest and host as normal application windows do. Open the virtual machine, click on the menu Devices-> Install Guest Additions, your Windows XP will pop up an installation interface, will let you install VirtualBox Guest Additions, in fact, this is a VM-like VM Tools for something, a big driver package. If you click Install Guest Additions no response, first choose Devices->umount Cd/dvd-rom, and then click Install Guest Additions on the line.

After installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions, click the menu VM-> Auto Resize guest Display in the Virtual machine window, drag to change the virtual machine window size, and the virtual machine resolution will adjust automatically. or direct click to maximize. Handle this window just like a normal program. After maximizing, you can get into windows with a resolution of 1274x674 (my notebook is widescreen, with a resolution of 1280x800), which is much better than a VM. You can also choose VM-> fullscreen Mode, which is not the same as the full screen concept of the VM, VirtualBox full screen is only filled with your desktop, the taskbar is still visible up and down, the full screen of the right crtl+f switch to the window.
