Abstract
A system is described for integrating menu bars of applications executed on a virtual machine in a computing device with menu bars in the host operating system. A hosted hypervisor is executed on the computing device. The hypervisor manages a virtual machine running a guest operating system (OS) on the computing device. An application is executed on the guest OS. A call by the application to the guest OS is detected, the call requesting the guest OS to set a menu bar for the application. The call is intercepted, information regarding the content of the menu bar is retrieved from the intercepted call, and the information is used to set a menu bar for the application in the host OS. Subsequently, when a selection is made from the menu bar in the host OS, the selection is translated to the application running in the virtual machine to effectuate the selection.
