VMWare fusion turning off automatic virtual machine start

Hello,
Possibly not the best forum for this question, but I hope some of you use VMWare fusion to run Windows on your MAC.
I originally used VMWare fusion eacy windows install to install XP Home as my virtual machine with automatic start up of XP home when VMWare fusion starts. I have subsequently created a new virtual machine for Windows 7 release candidate and want to automatically start this rather than XP when VMWare fusion starts. However I cannot fathom out how to stop VMWare fusion automatically loading and starting XP.
Any ideas? I should probably post this to a VMWare fusion forum, but cannot work out how to do that! I can see the appropriate VMWare forums but cannot see any way to post new threads. I do have a VMWare account.
Many thanks for your help.

IMAC, Mac OS X (10.5.6), I am visually impaired and so rely on Voice Over. I also run Windows XP Home on my IMAC under VMWare fusion using WindowEyes screen reader.

Hello Paul,

While Bjorn appears to have answered your question (and if so, you should mark the question "answered" BTW — and Bjorn will get credit for answering!), I'm sure you could use the kind of specialist help available from the Mac-Access mailing list discussion group. There are a number of VMWare Fusion users who also use VoiceOver on that list.
