  <title>Customizing <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/></title>
  
  <body>
    <p>There are several advanced customization settings for locking down <ph
        conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>. Locking down means removing some features that the user should
      not see. </p>
    <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Customizations <varname>property</varname>[,<varname>property</varname> ...]</pre>
    <p><varname>property</varname> is one of the following
        properties:
      </p>
    <dl>
      <dlentry>
        <dt>
          <codeph>noSelector</codeph>
        </dt>
        <dd>
          <p>Do not allow users to start <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>. Trying to do so will show a
            window containing a proper error message. </p>
        </dd>
      </dlentry>
      <dlentry>
        <dt>
          <codeph>noMenuBar</codeph>
        </dt>
        <dd>
          <p>VM windows will not contain a menu bar. </p>
        </dd>
      </dlentry>
      <dlentry>
        <dt>
          <codeph>noStatusBar</codeph>
        </dt>
        <dd>
          <p>VM windows will not contain a status bar. </p>
        </dd>
      </dlentry>
    </dl>
    <p>To disable any of these <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> customizations use the following
      command: </p>
    <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Customizations</pre>
