- If you have an X running in your guest you can use the VMware Tools GUI

- You can edit the .vmx file of the guest and edit the parameter: tools.syncTime = "FALSE"

Thanks for your reply AWo,

i just check the link

there i can see the first step

Set tools.syncTime = "0" in the configuration file (.vmx file) of the virtual machine.

is "0" indicates False or true?

0 = False

where I always saw/used "False". I never tried "0".
