Ubuntu with XP Guest screen resolution defaults low @ startup

$

Hi

 

Every time I start up my VM the guest OS (Windows XP) loads in an 800x600 resolution and I have to manually change that to 1900x1080 to match my HTPC screen size!

 

How can I set VMware Player or te guest OS to retain the proper screen resolution on startup?

 

The VM is used to run XP so I can stream Netflix since Netflix (Silverlight) is not supported on Linus OS.

This is important as I can't expect non-techie users to mess with screen resolution every time they want to stream Netflix.

 

OS Info

Host: Ubuntu 12.10

Guest: XP pro SP2

 

Another question: Is there a way to set the VM to start automatically when I start VMware Player from the Host OS (to eliminate another user input)?
