I'm a little rusty; I haven't used Virtual Box for a few months. But
there are different modes of use for Virtual Box. One makes both the
host and guest operating systems available at once and it's a single
keyboard shortcut to switch back and forth. (Right-Ctrl+some other
key). In that mode, the task bars for both operating systems will both
be visible at the bottom of the screen and you can also switch between
them by single clicking on the task bar of the OS you want to use.

Best regards,

Paul
