When the user is finished working with this virtual machine, he or she closes it by
choosing File > Close. The virtual machine powers off, and the next time a user
powers it on, it returns to the snapshot.
To remove the restriction on the interface, take the following steps.
1. Power off the virtual machine and close the VMware Workstation window.
2. Open the configuration file (.vmx) file and do one of the following:
• Set gui.restricted = "false".
• Remove or comment out the gui.restricted = "true" line.
Save the changes to the configuration file and close it.
3. Start the virtual machine by double-clicking the shortcut. The virtual machine
starts at the snapshot, and the interface is not restricted.
