2nd VM starts automatically rather than being given a choice via Virtual Library

I've got 2 VMs setup. When I click on the VMware fusion icon in the dock, the 2nd VM starts automatically rather than giving me a choice to select which VM to start. Where is this set? I can't seem to find it in any of the preferences.

VMware Fusion (menu bar) > Help > VMware Fusion Help > Navigating VMware Fusion > Using the Virtual Machine Library Window

If you have Fusion set up to show a favorite virtual machine at startup, you can get access to the Virtual Machine Library window by selecting Window > Virtual Machine Library from the menu bar.

Designate a virtual machine to run when you start VMware Fusion (“favorite virtual machine”) Click on the star icon to the right of the virtual machine name in the source list.

Also this can be done whether or not a Virtual Machine is running.

Thanks! I see it now. The star you pointed out is like a toggle.
