Vmware Workstation Player 16 Shared Folder auto Enable

Hi,

we are deploying prepared vms to many clients at our company. When the start up the vm the first time the shared folder gets disabled by default. Is there an option to enable it anyway by default? i only have seen some preference settings for workstation pro..

The shared folder location is on all clients the same. 

Best Regards

Simon

I know how to do these Steps. But when you copy the VM to another Computer its disabled again by default.. thats a Problem for us.

So i know we can edit the preferences.ini to do so, but at a fresh install the preferences.ini will be overwritten by the first start of the Workstation. Thats not ok for now..
