Ciao 

you need to change some values in the registry of your Windows OS.
To see what value you have run:

 

Get-Item "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\vmrc\DefaultIcon"

Get-Item "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\vmrc\shell\open\command"

 

To change (from administrator powershell):

Set-Item HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\vmrc\DefaultIcon -Value '"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe",0' Set-Item HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\vmrc\shell\open\command -Value '"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe" "%1"'

 that the two commands to change the colors are:

 

Set-Item HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\vmrc\DefaultIcon -Value '"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe",0' 

 

Set-Item HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\vmrc\shell\open\command -Value '"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe" "%1"'

I had missed a carriage return
