I succumbed to the temptation of going into full-screen mode .. despite the
warnings and of course, now I can't alternative between my Vista PC & XP
as I could before.
I can't see any setting to reverse this .. is there one?
or will I have to uninstall & reinstall Virtual PC & XP?
thx in anticipation

If you hit F11, hit it again.

No, F11 didn't work.
I used an option to re-size to full screen it warned me that my host desktop
would no longer be visible, but I (stupidly) thought that I'd still have the
option to resize again it so it was.

The only access I have to my host desktop now is if an email comes in or
somebody skypes me and it brings the taskbar to the front again.

On my system, holding down the Right ALT key and then tapping the ENTER key
toggles the active Virtual PC window from windowed mode to full-screen mode
and back again.
