The metadata service might be able to help you.
I haven't tried it myself, but I guess you will then need to run a startup script (powershell?) in the windows machine to check the "user-data".

Does this assume you don't have horizon or VNC installed and hence you don't have direct access to your running VM's or you don't want to open the console and then save it?
i have installed horizon and vnc . i just want to upload the file in my code. is there some kind of apis that i can make use of?
