The Configuration Editor is used to configure a virtual machine. The Configuration Editor can create a new virtual machine configuration or modify an existing virtual machine configuration, such as one created by the Configuration Wizard .
If you wish to use the Configuration Editor to edit an existing virtual machine configuration, choose File > Open to open the virtual machine configuration file (.cfg) then use Settings > Configuration Editor to edit it. All configuration options may be modified when a virtual machine is powered off. Some configuration options may be modified while a virtual machine is powered on, such as options for removable devices and Miscellaneous parameters.
After making changes in the Configuration Editor, you have two choices:
Use Power > Power On to start the virtual machine.
