    b. These 2 files are auto synced or mirrored.
    c. Open the editor in Administrator mode. Eg notepad++. Otherwise you will get access denied message
3. Add a new entry at bottom of the configuration file, right before the "# End" marker. MyGuestVM is any unique name. Example below

host sunilW2008Server {
hardware ethernet 00-0C-29-05-2B-A0;
fixed-address 192.168.63.222;
}

3. Shutdown the VM and close the Workstation

How to Delete a Windows Service

Deleting a Service

The first thing you’ll need to do is identify the name of the service, so open up Services through the start menu or control panel, and then find the service in the list that you want to delete.

You’ll want to open up the properties by double-clicking on the service name, and then highlight the “Service name” value and copy it to the clipboard. This is what we’ll need to disable it.

You’ll need to open up a command prompt, you’ll need to right-click the command prompt and choose Run as Administrator. We’ll use the sc command to actually do the work.

The syntax used to delete a service is this:

sc delete ServiceName

If your service name has spaces in it, you’ll need to wrap the service name in quotes, like this:

sc delete “Adobe LM Service”
