    Thanks chaps. I can reproduce that by moving to the top of the screen.

    The window goes back to its original size by dragging it down off the top, as well.

    Apparently Virtual Box 4.1 will now support Aero for Windows 7 guests. Haven't tried it yet.
    For Aero support, click the "Direct 3D support (Experimental)" box when installing Guest Additions. It pops up this box:
    This system supports the Windows Aero (WDDM) interface.
    VirtualBox support for this feature is experimental and should not be
    used on production systems yet.

    Would you like to install basic Direct3D support instead?

    This defaults to Yes, where you get:
    Windows is currently not running in safe mode so Direct3D support
    cannot be installed.

    Answer No, and you get this instead:
    Please note that in order to use 3D acceleration the virtual machine
    requires at least 128 MB of video memory with 256 MB recommended if
    you wish to use it with multiple monitors

    And then you can install it.

    I've just done it and it worked, but when the system came up it was rather slow, so I've gone back to ordinary. I might try it again on the office PC which is a bit faster.
    Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.
