    Hi,

    I'm using parallels on the mac. Is there a way to totally remove / hide the status bar? I keep trying to close a windows folder by clicking on the top right, but the status bar pops up and I click and go out of "full screen" mode.

    In the attached screen shot - I end up clicking the blue button, top right.

    Hi, there is a setting you can change to not use the OS X Full Screen mode, which should let you use the old style full screen from before Mac OS included the full screen at the OS level.

    This means there is no status bar popping up when you move your mouse to the top of the screen.

    Goto the configuration for the particular VM and untick the use Mac OS Full Screen option. I have it ticked, but sounds like you want to untick to get the desired effect

    Note to Parallels - Please, please leave this option in future releases. It is particularly important for a nice experience when running Windows 8, as the corners enable functionality and the Mac OS full screen mode gets annoying
