We have a Windwos 7 host with VmWare 8 installed. After the Win 7 machine boots up, selected virtual machines should boot as well automatically. With automatically I mean, that no one has to login or do something manual at the host.

How can we do that?

With Workstation 8, there is an "Autostart VMs" feature. On my copy, you click on the "Shared VMs" folder, then the right pane will have a item that says: "Manage AutoStart VMs"

Put a shortcut to the vm file in the startup folder should work I think.
