have a look at ACE - you can enable ACE features per VM by clicking the "enable ACE features" button

ACE has its own way of encryption - you would enable ACE before you use encryption

Encrypting the VM makes it unusable until you enter the password. Both WS and Player support encrypted VMs. Was there something else you wanted to do that the encryption feature doesn't provide?
