===Managing your Virtual Machine===
[[Image:taskbar.png|thumb|right|500px|The '''VM Workstation taskbar''' is useful when in full-screen mode to perform common virtual machine management tasks. ]]
The VM Workstation application allows virtual machines to run in '''windows mode''' or '''full screen mode''' (which is toggled by pressing the key combination: '''ALT-CTRL-ENTER'''). You can press the key-combination ALT-CTRL in order to return to your host computer system (i.e. running the VM Workstation application. The VM Workstation Toolbar (displayed on right-hand side) can be accessed while in full screen mode when the mouse pointer is at the top of the virtual machine display.
Although there are menu items to '''pause''' or '''force a shutdown''' of your VM session, y'''ou should <u>ALWAYS</u> shutdown your Centos7 host VM by normal OS shutdown procedures''' (as you would do with shutting down your real computer).
