Running VMware Player : Quitting VMware Player

Quitting VMware Player
Quit VMware Player before you shut down the host computer — the computer where VMware Player is running.
To quit VMware Player, do one of the following:
Choose Player > Exit (on Windows) or Player > Quit (on Linux).
Click the X in the upper-right corner of the toolbar.
Depending on the configured exit behavior, the virtual machine either suspends or shuts down and the window closes.
You can change the exit behavior in the Preferences dialog box, as described in Exit Behavior Preferences. For ACEs, the options you see depend on which features your system administrator makes available.
