I am running OpenVPN at home and want to have VPN available when my computer unknowingly reboots or Windows 8 automatically does Windows Updates and reboots, even though I have it set not to do that.

Allow shared VMS (Edit -> Preferences)
o 
· Put VM in sharedvm subdirectory
o
D:\virtualbox\working\sharedvm\OpenVPN_OVA
§
OpenVPN-AS-Appliance-2.0.1.vmx and vmdk is in
this directory

Double click on the vmx file

It opens…

o
Make sure it shows under Shared VMs. If not,
just drag and drop it.
· Click on Shared VMs. and then "Manage AutoStart VMs"
o 
· Enable virtual machine(s) you want to autostart.
o
· DONE!
Optionally, you can have it start when you login to Windows. Just put this in the start folder:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmrun.exe" -T ws start "D:\virtualbox\working\OpenVPN_OVA\OpenVPN-AS-Appliance-2.0.1.vmx"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmrun.exe" -T ws start "D:\virtualbox\working\OpenVPN_OVA\OpenVPN-AS-Appliance-2.0.1.vmx"
Some people may need the following sentence: change attributes to where your VM is located and the correct vmx name.
vmware workstation run as service
vmware workstation as service
vmware workstation as server
vmware start before logon
vmware start before login
vmware windows startup
workstation start before logon
workstation start before login
workstation windows startup
