    Been using VMWare a few days, so when you install VMWare it creates an UserAccount.
    Everytime you turn on/restart your pc you have to select your main user, i find it kinda annoying having to click it every time.

    Is there a way to make it select automatically my account?
    I deleted it once to try but now the program won't start :D

    You mean when you turn on your virtual PC on VMware Workstation?

    In WinXP you enter "control userpasswords2" into command prompt or the run input box to change those settings, but it depends on the virtual machine you installed. And take a base snapshot after tweaking the settings so you don't have to re-apply them each time re-zero the VM.

    I don't remember any other kinds of required logins. I changed all the startup services that VMware Workstation installation added from Automatic to On Demand anyway, but even when I start WMware Workstation it doesn't ask me to for any logins.

    When you install VMWare, a VMWare User Group account is made called _vmware_ named _vmware_user_ is this what you mean?

    You can use a registry setting for automatic logon, Tweak UI or Run control userpasswords2. What OS do you run?

    control userpasswords2/TweakUI/Registry

    In 7 it is enabled by using User Accounts the same as the above link or you can also enter netplwiz in search.

    Any joy?
