VMware Tools
From KlavoWiki
VMware tools are not required to be installed in any guest operating system that has been virtualized by VMware. However, 99% of all VMware users do install vmware tools. Let me tell you why.
VMware tools provide the following:
- Improved video performance
- Mouse synchronization with the host operating system so that you don't have to keep releasing your mouse from the guest to go back to the host
- Improved mouse performance
- Copy and paste between the host and guest
Mount the VMware tools ISO image for the virtual machine, then for.....
