autorun vmware image on a windows host

1. make a new .txt file:

@echo off
“C:\Program Files\VMware\VMWare Workstation\vmrun.exe” start “C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\My Virtual Machines\OpenBSD Mail Server\FreeBSD.vmx”

2. rename it from .txt to .bat

3. drop it into the startup folder or make a scheduled task to run it on system start.
