vmware.exe - No Disk

When starting up VMware Workstation I was receiving the following error which I believed to be related to the recent change of the removable USB drive's letters on my laptop.

I researched this and found that there was no obvious registry entries but instead that the details of the VMware Workstation favourites tab were recorded in a %appdata%\vmware\favorites.vmls

By deleting this file, I found that this resolved the error and then found that it's then recreated once VMware Workstaiton is restarted.
