How to do it with the free version of VMWare or any other windows free virtualization software?

My method:

  1. Set up a remote interactive session to autostart (follow the instructions at http://wiki.imacros.net/How_to_Schedule_a_RemoteInteractive_Session - its easier then it sounds!)

  2. Create a shortcut to the vmware machine(s) you need to autostart and drag them to the autostart folder.
