Right way to shrink a VMWare drive

I was not aware that merely using "vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -k" cannot guarantee the vmware disk file got shrinked properly. To make sure the drive got shrink effectively, I have to do the following:

- Mount the VMWare disk to the machine. (Yep, you can suddenly see the drive file becomes a regular drive on your desktop.
- Use "vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -p" to prepare the disk to be shrinked.
- Unmount the drive from desktop.
- Shrink the disk.

Here's an example:
To Shrink C Drive

"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\vmware-mount.exe" J: "D:\deecay\VMWare OS\W2K3 with VS.Net 2K3 Dev - Barebone Setting\Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk"

"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe" -p J:

"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\vmware-mount.exe" J: /d

"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe" -k "D:\deecay\VMWare OS\W2K3 with VS.Net 2K3 Dev - Barebone Setting\Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk"
