Currently I'm working with a Windows XP virtual machine, and each time I Ctrl + Alt + Enter to work with the host machine, the guest gets resized to fit a smaller window.

I've tried changing all of the options as indicated here and also tried what this answer says, but it doesn't change the behaviour: it still resizes.

I also looked at this answer, but I don't really want to uninstall VMWare tools, as it helps a lot when transferring files.

What I'd like is to simply let the VM have the original resolution, and when I zoom out of it, have scrollbars to scroll to the right / bottom instead of resizing the VM.

Is it possible?

I'm using VMWare Workstation 10.0.1

Go to View=>Autoresize=>Center guest
Now you will see the guest in a small window.
now inside the guest OS go to resolution and set it to what your monitor is about.
Then apply that and yeah! it is fixed!
