CHAPTER 8 Installing and Running VMware ACE
161
To disconnect and reconnect the devices from the Connect menu, click the name of a
device to toggle it off and on. A check beside the name of a device indicates that it is
connected. If there is no check mark, the device is disconnected.
Note: Only one machine — either the host computer or the VMware ACE
environment — may use floppy disk drives and USB devices at any one time. This
means that if your VMware ACE environment is configured to use the device, and if
you want to use that device directly on your host computer, you must first be sure it is
disconnected from the VMware ACE environment. The Ethernet adapter may be
shared by the host computer and the VMware ACE environment.
Setting VMware ACE Preferences
You can set preferences that control the behavior of VMware ACE. The options
available to you depend on choices made by your system administrator. To change
the preferences, choose VMware ACE > Preferences. The VMware ACE Preferences
dialog box appears.
If your system administrator has made them available, you may set the preferences
described below.
The exit behavior preferences allow you to specify the following:
• Confirm before exiting the application — When you give the command to exit
VMware ACE, either from the menu or by clicking the X in the upper right corner
of the window or toolbar, a dialog box appears. You may confirm the intention to
exit VMware ACE or click Cancel to continue working.
• Suspend the virtual machine when exiting — This is the default behavior.
VMware ACE suspends the virtual machine and closes. The next time you launch
VMware ACE, the VMware ACE environment resumes operation from the point
where it was suspended.
