If you need to add or change a configuration option for a virtual machine that cannot be accessed from elsewhere in the management interface, you can edit the virtual machine's configuration file (the file with the .vmx extension) from the Options tab. For example, if you want to enable repeatable resume in the virtual machine, you would add the option to the configuration file in the manner described below.
Caution: You should not add or change any options in your configuration file unless you have been given a specific option to add to the file in another part of the user documentation or if you are working with VMware support to solve an issue with your virtual machine.
To add an option to the configuration file (.vmx), complete the following steps.
For example, if you want to enable repeatable resume in the virtual machine, create an option called resume.repeatable.
For example, set the value of resume.repeatable to TRUE.
To change an option in the configuration file (.vmx), complete the following steps.
