Modifying the Configuration File Directly (Advanced Users Only)
If you need to add or change a virtual machine’s configuration option that cannot be
accessed from elsewhere in the management interface, you can edit the virtual
machine’s configuration file (.vmx) from the Options tab.

Caution: You should not add or change any options in your configuration file unless
you have been given specific instructions about an option in another part of the user
documentation, or if you are working with VMware support to solve an issue with
your virtual machine.

To add an option to the configuration file, make sure you are logged on to the
management interface as the virtual machine user or as a user with the proper
permissions to modify this virtual machine (such as the Administrator or root user),
then complete the following steps. Make sure the virtual machine is powered off.
