Setting VMware Player Preferences : Exit Behavior Preferences

Exit Behavior Preferences
Exit behavior preferences allow you to specify the following:
Confirm before exiting the application — If selected, when you give the command to exit VMware Player, a dialog box appears. You can confirm the intention to exit VMware Player or click Cancel to continue using VMware Player.
Suspend the virtual machine when exiting — If selected, VMware Player suspends the virtual machine and closes. The next time you launch VMware Player, the virtual machine resumes operation from the point where it was suspended.
Power off the virtual machine when exiting — If selected, VMware Player powers off the virtual machine. The next time you launch VMware Player, the virtual machine starts from a powered-off state and the guest operating system boots.
If you are running an ACE, the options you see depend on which features your system administrator makes available.
