VMPlayer 12.1 Autostart Advice Please

Hi,

Just installed VMware VMPlayer ver 12.1 and setup a VM for Windows XP.   It all works fine.  I want to be able to start the VM in unity mode when the laptop logs in, and created a batch file thus:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\vmware\VMWare Player\vmplayer.exe" --unity "D:\VirtualBox VMs\VMWare XP\Windows XP Professional.vmx"

As it is, it runs fine, starts everything up in Unity mode.  However, the cmd prompt box it initially opens, does not close.

I have tried adding EXIT to the end and it does nothing.

Tried adding START "" but then the system complains about the switch --unity

So now I am at a loss, I just need the cmd prompt to close itself.

Can anyone of your guru's out there advise?

The shutdown commands works brilliantly and the cmd prompt box closes fine.

Any help and advice would be very much welcomed

Thanks
