Any way to AUTOMATICALLY use multiple monitors on VM power on?

[JasonJoel]

We have a few Windows XP VMs that we use two monitors in (using the multiple monitor support in Workstation 6.0/6.5).

We automatically start the VM Full Screen, but when it starts it always only uses one monitor on the host. We have to physically go click the "Cycle Multiple Monitors" button to get it to use the second monitor.

Is there any way (script or other) to make it just use both monitors without further user intervention??

Ran in to this myself, see https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Setting-multiple-monitor-topology-across-VM... for some solutions to send the Cycle Multiple Monitors keyboard macro using a script.
