== Miscellaneous Configuration Options Configuring Host and Guest Time Synchronization ==
The VMware Tools control panel consists of a number of tabs which serve to display different groups of configuration options. The first tab, labeled ''Options'' contains a number of miscellaneous configuration settings relating , perhaps the most significant of which relates to both the control panel and the interaction time synchronization between the virtual machine host and host systemguest systems.
The ''Time synchronization between the virtual machine and the host operating system'' setting controls whether VMware Tools checks at one minute intervals to ensure the guest operating system's time has not fallen behind that of the host system. Deselecting this option prevents VMware Tools from performing this check while the guest system is up and running. Strangely, however, it does not prevent the synchronization check from being performed when the virtual machine is started, resumed, restored from a snapshot, or when the size of virtual disk is reduced using VMware Tools.
For finer grained control over time synchronization settings, it is necessary to edit the virtual machine 's ''.vmx'' configuration file and set the respective options to either ''TRUE'' or ''FALSE'' based on the following table:
