Running Virtual PC Integration features without password

[Jacques25]

Hi friends,
I have getting frustrated with the pop-up of the password after enabling the integration feature. I have created new Virtual PC which is having the Windows 7 as host as well as guest operating system. After enabling the features of an integration, I am always prompted for a username and password. I want to get rid of it. How can I run Virtual PC Integration features without password. Hope that someone would help me soon.!!

You can try the following solution mentioned by me to regain access to the Virtual Machine :

1. Right click on the Virtual Machine instance.
2. Then click "Settings".
3. Click "Integration Features" which would be present in the left panel.
4. Then in the right panel, uncheck "Enable at startup".
5. Finally click OK and double-click to open the Virtual Machine.

After following these steps, the password prompt will no longer appear.
