You can use a console or the management interface to launch a virtual machine directly. You need to know the path to the configuration file for the virtual machine you want to launch headless. At the server host, enter the command to launch the virtual machine. You can start the machine by connecting to it with a remote console or the VMware Management Interface. You run the local console when you are installing the virtual machine's operating system and VMware Tools.
Virtual machines run faster in full screen mode.
Cutting, Copying and Pasting When VMware Tools is running in a virtual machine, you can cut or copy then paste text between applications in the virtual machine and the host computer or between two virtual machines. Just use your host or guest operating system's cut, copy and paste commands. Make sure you installed and started VMware Tools in your virtual machine. In a Windows guest operating system, you will see the VMware Tools icon in the system tray when VMware Tools is running. Persistent disks behave exactly like conventional disk drives on a computer.
