To re-order the list, the file vm-list file needs to be edited. 1 - Close the VMWare Server Console 2 - In Windows open a command prompt (Start \ Run…) and enter the following command: NOTE: (virtual machines do not need to be stopped) net stop "VMware Registration Service" Linux systems do not need to stop any deamons. 3 - Make a backup copy of the vm-list file, before editing (Windows users can use Notepad and Linux users can use VI or any editor of your choice). In Windows Vista the file can be found in the following folder location: C:\Users\All Users\VMware\VMware Server In all other versions of Windows (XP/2000/2003): C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\VMware\VMware Server In Linux: etc/vmware/vm-list NOTE: if you can not find the file, search for vm-list to locate it. When editing the file, order the VM's to your preference and make sure there is a carriage return after each VM entry (otherwise the VM will not appear in the inventory list). 4 - In Windows restart the VMware Registration Service: net start "VMware Registration Service"
