Click the maximize button on the VMware Player window to run your virtual machine in full screen mode. The desktop expands to fill the screen, leaving a small toolbar visible at the top of the screen.
To reduce the VMware Player display so it is running in a window again, click the restore button on the toolbar. To return to a window if the mouse pointer is not available, press
Ctrl+Alt.
If your system administrator has configured VMware Player to run only in full screen mode, you cannot run it in a window. If you click the minimize button on the toolbar or press
Ctrl+Alt, the VMware Player window is minimized and you see the host operating system.
