VMWare Server Automatic startup

Hi, so here's my story:

I wanted to automatically connect to my local host when the vmware
server console program is started. I did not want to have to click 'ok'

on the popup box each time. (Where it gives you an option to log as
local host or remote host)

So to my desktop vmware server console i edited the shortcut to have
the following so that i could log on as local and start my virtual
guest OS immediately:
"C:\Program Files\blah\blah.exe" -l "C:\Virtual Machines\blah\blah.vmx"

which works like magic!.... but this is when i click on the desktop
shortcut. I want this to happen on reboot of the physical PC also. SO i

tried to put this shortcut in startup and had also tried to put in
scheduled tasks... but neither seems to work... On reboot, both options

stop at the vmware server console and do not allow me to view my guest
OS until i connect to local host manually.

I dont get why this would work by the desktop shortcut but nto when i
put the same thing in startup.

Any help would be great ! thanks!
