Inside the VM, open the VMware tools icon and use the scripts tab:

Point to your own custom script in any folder.

You seem to need to use the command line in workstation 9...

The tool exists at %PROGRAMFILES%\VMWare\VMWare Tools\VMwareToolboxCmd.exe

There are 4 types of scripts:

power

shutdown

resume

suspend

You can see the current script used by running (replace <type> with thetype from above)

VMwareToolboxCmd.exe scripts <type> current

You can enable/disable the script by using

VMwareToolboxCmd.exe scripts <type> enable

or

VMwareToolboxCmd.exe scripts <type> disable

You can set a new one by using

VMwareToolboxCmd.exe scripts <type> set <newpath>

One important note - the "enable" subcommand will have a side-effect of resetting the script to the default location, so if you have a custom script, remember to do a "set" after "enable"!
