Problem

I am running VirtualBox on a dual-monitor Windows 7 x64 system. When I put a VM into full-screen mode it always appears full-screen on my primary monitor even though the VM window was on the secondary monitor. Is there a way to make it appear full-screen on the secondary monitor?

Low Risk

When you are in Full Screen mode in the view menu choose "Virtual Screen 1", "Use Host Screen 2" While in fullscreen mode, press HostKey + Home to bring up the hidden menu. Select View -> "Virtual Screen 1" -> "Use Host Screen 2"
