My favorite feature in the latest version of VMware Workstation is
that you can run virtual machines entirely in the background. This is
most useful for “appliance” machines that you won’t actually use from
the prompt, but through a web browser or ssh client.
The only problem is that when you click the close button on the VMware window, you get a prompt saying “Some
virtual machines are still powered on. You can continue to run these
virtual machines in the background, suspend them for later use, or power
them off now.“
I always want my virtual machines to run in the background!
You can disable that window by just telling VMware to always run
virtual machines in the background by going to Edit \ Preferences.
Click the checkbox that says “Run powered on virtual machines in
background after close”. Now when you click the close button, it will
always just minimize the virtual machines to the system tray. Very
useful
