Shutting down the VM, if only a single VM exists, will shut down the

computer, unless the VRE admin user is logged into the VT1 terminal.

Thus, if a VM needs to be modified and/or added, it will require that the end-user
have the admin password and log onto the VT1 terminal with .
After the admin is logged onto the VT1, the user can then switch back to the VT8
window with and shut down the Windows virtual machine as
normal, and the computer will not shut down. The user may then switch to VT7 to
access the VRE Desktop to perform system configuration changes, such as running

VirtualBox menu.

Note: In the current version of RocIT Defender, wireless network access is
controlled by accessing VT7 and configuring the network within the VRE. The
network will be passed through automatically to the running Guest operating
system. It is NOT required that the Guest OS be shut down to configure or change
network settings.

VM Taskbar Menus

Because the operating system (OS) of the RocIT Defender drive is running within a
virtual machine (VM), a Taskbar Menu is available once the OS is loaded. When the
OS is running in Full Screen Mode (the default setting), the VRE taskbar menu can
be found at the bottom of the screen. The mouse may need to be moved to the
bottom of the screen to unhide it and bring it into view. In order to have the menu
remain visible, click on the Pin icon (left side of the taskbar) to dock the taskbar and
have it remain in view when the mouse is moved off the VRE taskbar.

Full Screen Mode: the VRE taskbar is located at the bottom of the screen.

If the OS is running in Seamless Mode, the menu will appear as a window within
the screen. To set it back to a more useful view, click on the “Machine” menu item in
the taskbar (top-left of the window) and select <Enter Fullscreen Mode>.
