Configuring the Virtual Machine 180
Setting Restrictions
You can set restrictions on the following operations for non-administrator users:
 Exit full screen mode. An administrator's password will be required to exit the Full Screen
(p. 151) view mode.
 Change
virtual machine state. An administrator's password will be required to start, stop (p.
90), suspend, or otherwise change the virtual machine
state.
 Manage snapshots. An administrator's password will be required to create or delete a virtual
machine snapshot (p. 134), or revert to a snapshot.
Isolating the Virtual Machine from Mac
If you want to isolate your virtual machine from Mac OS X, select the Isolate Mac from Windows
option (or Isolate Mac from Linux for Linux virtual machines). This option disables all
integration features, including Shared Folders (p. 181), Shared Profile (p. 181), Shared
Applications (p. 184), SmartMount (p. 181), etc. You will also not be able to copy or move
objects between the virtual
machine and your Mac.
Using Undo Disks
The Enable Undo Disks option allows you to discard or apply the changes you made to the
virtual machine hard disk during your working session. If you choose to discard them, the
changes will be discarded when you shut down the virtual machine. When you start this virtual
machine again, its virtual hard disk will have the same data it contained before you started the
previous working session. If you choose to apply the changes on the virtual machine shutdown,
the next time you start this virtual machine, its virtual hard disk will store the changes you made
during the previous working session.
Note: When enabled, the Undo Disks feature is applied to all virtual hard disks this virtual
machine uses.
You can choose whether you want to discard the changes you made to the virtual machine hard
disk or choose the action to perform in the On shutdown field.
 Discard changes. Select this option if you want to discard the changes when you shut down
this virtual machine.
 Ask me what to do. If this option is selected, you will be prompted to choose the action to
perform with the changes (discard or apply them) each time you shut down the virtual
machine.
Note 1: You cannot create snapshots of virtual machines that have the Enable Undo Disks option
enabled.
Note 2: The Enable Undo Disks option cannot be enabled for the virtual machines using the Boot
Camp partition.
Encrypting the Virtual Machine
Encryption allows you to protect your virtual machine from being accessed by unauthorized
users. To encrypt the virtual machine, click Turn On and specify a password. To access the
encrypted virtual machine, you have to enter this password every time you open it.
