Enabling Start menu in Fusion Unity view

From Fusion release notes:
VMware Fusion provides a hidden option that displays the Windows task bar in Unity view. To enable this option:

Make sure that Windows Explorer is set to display hidden files and folders.
In the Windows guest, go to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Tools.
Open the file tools.conf in a text editor such as Notepad.
Add the following line to tools.conf:
unity.showTaskbar = "true"
Save and close tools.conf.
Restart your Windows guest.
The next time you enter Unity mode, VMware Fusion will show the Windows task bar.
