Hi Continuum,
Many thanks indeed!
When installed services are started automatically, so they are running in the background all the time.
Is there no way to have a desktop icon that:
1.starts the services
2. launch vmware
3. stops them when closing vmware
I don't know... I am not an expert at all, so the below may very well childishly ridiculous..
something like
rem run as administrator
LaunchVMwareWS.cmd
rem start services
net start VMware Authorization Service
net start VMware NAT Service
net start VMware Tray Process
net start VMware USB Arbitration Service
net start VMware VMnet DHCP service
net start vmware-hostd.exe
rem start vmware.exe
d:\vmware\vmware.exe
rem after closing vmware
rem stop services
net stop VMware Authorization Service
net stop VMware NAT Service
net stop VMware Tray Process
net stop VMware USB Arbitration Service
net stop VMware VMnet DHCP service
net stop vmware-hostd.exe
currently I don't have vmware installed, it blocks my security software.
