Change the Name of a Virtual Machine
When you run a virtual machine, its name appears in the title bar. Player uses the original name of the
virtual machine to name the directory where the virtual machine files are stored.
Changing the name of a virtual machine does not change the name of the virtual machine directory or
rename the virtual machine files on the host system.
