Hiding the Host OS when startng MS VPC with host

Source: microsoft.public.virtualpc
Sent: 02/20/2009
From: FACE <(email address - cut out)>
Message:

Host: Vista Ultimate
Guest: XP Pro
via: MS VPC 2007

VM guest has been pulled out of console and put in "startup items".

It starts fullscreen with the Host OS boot.

Is there any way to Hide the host OS on boot?

Does "disableclose" have any effect on a fullscreen virtual machine?
If so, how does one remove the "disableclose" parameter once established?

Alternatively, how does one lock the VM as open and how does the admin
bypass that? Safe boot? Or selective boot? Secret key?

Thank you,

FACE

This isn't how software virtualisation works... VPC is just an application,
a piece of software, same as VMWare, Word, Excel etc...

You can't hide the host OS any more than, say, you could set Excel to
autostart at boot time and somehow hide Windows at the same time...

If you want this sort of functionality, you really need to consider a
multi-boot solution...
