When I rename a virtual machine in vmware workstation, the old file names (e.g.: the hard drive file name) remains.
How do I manually rename these without messing up the virtual machine?
I'm not using the newest vmware workstation version.

The vmx file that stores the virtual machine's configuration is a just a text file. You can just rename all of the vm's files and then edit the vmx to point to those files. | |||

I use the import option to do this. This way I can keep a base VM on a share someplace called base-XP or whatever, then when I need a new test VM, I do an import and the disks are named according to the setting I specify when going through the import wizard. | |||
