VMware ACE Administrator’s Manual
Setting Preferences for VMware ACE
Manager
The Preferences dialog box allows you to change a number of settings that apply to
VMware ACE Manager itself, no matter what virtual machine you are running. The
settings on the Workspace, Input and Hot Keys tabs apply to the user currently logged
on to the host computer. They do not affect settings made by any other user on the
computer. The settings on the Memory tab apply no matter what virtual machine is
running or who is logged on to the host computer. The settings on the Priority tab
apply to all virtual machines for the user currently logged on to the host computer.
They do not affect settings made by any other user on the computer.
To make changes to these settings, choose Edit > Preferences.
Workspace — The Workspace tab lets you change the directory in which newly
created projects and virtual machines are stored.
The project directory VMware ACE Manager uses by default is displayed under Default
location for projects. To set a different directory, type in the path or click Browse to
navigate to the directory you want to use. Workstation creates a directory for each
new project under the directory you specify here.
The virtual machine directory VMware ACE Manager uses by default is displayed
under Default location for virtual machines. To set a different directory, type in the
path or click Browse to navigate to the directory you want to use. Workstation creates
a directory for each new virtual machine under the directory you specify here.
If you select the Remember opened tabs between sessions check box, you see a tab
for each opened project and virtual machine the next time you start VMware ACE
