Running VMware Player : Entering and Leaving Full Screen Mode

Entering and Leaving Full Screen Mode
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.
After a few seconds with no use, the toolbar disappears. To make it visible again, move the mouse pointer to the top edge of the screen.
To pin the toolbar so it is always visible, click the pushpin on the toolbar. To release the toolbar so it can disappear again, click the pushpin a second time.
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.
