in a new browser window. Selecting this option is the same as clicking the virtual
machine name link in the Display Name column.

machine’s hardware configuration. You can edit most configuration options only
when the virtual machine is powered off. When the virtual machine is powered
on, you can edit removable devices and the virtual network adapter.
For more information, see Configuring a Virtual Machine’s Hardware on
page 139.

machine’s configuration, such as the guest operating system type, display name,
the location of the suspended state file and the startup and shutdown options.
With the exception of the display name, you can edit these options only when
the virtual machine is powered off.
For more information, see Setting Standard Virtual Machine Configuration
Options on page 141.

same as turning off the power to a physical computer.
