Changing a Virtual Machine Name

You can change the name of a virtual machine. Changing the name of the virtual machine does not change the name of this directory, nor does it rename the virtual machine files on the host. Workstation Player uses the original name of the virtual machine to create the directory where virtual machine files are stored.

To specify a new name for a selected virtual machine, select Player > Manage > Virtual Machine Settings, click the Options tab, and select General.
