Load the vst in some sort of sequencerlike cubase, abelton, sonar etc.
..and record it through that.

You will probably findthat any recording you make on the computer, will be of the unaltered guitar before the software does the clever 'make it sound like a guitar amp' stuff. This applies to just about all the software I have used.
If you can get your hands on a digital audio workstation of some description, you would need to route the signal to get it to record the effected sound.
1) Make an auxiliary input for the guitar, and use the guitar combo as an insert on that channel.
2) Route the output of that auxiliary to a bus
3) Create an audio channel to record the sound on, setting the input to the same bus.
You need to do that for any effects you want to apply to a recorded signal - compressors or limiters or EQ or whatever.

Bear in mindthat doing it this way means you cannot change the sound once it has been recorded.
If you record the unaffected guitar, you can always put the guitar combo as an insert on that audio channel - and change the settings later if you decide you want to.
The problem with that approach, is that when you record half a dozen guitar tracks you need half a dozen instances of the guitar combo all eating up system resources.
It's always a balance between what is convenient and what your computer is capable of running.

Gotcha . . . I'll just have to give it a go go and hear what happens . . .I don't know if you've seen the iAxe . . . it's like a Strat but runs off of the USB port.
So it's actually got 3 jacks . . . USB . . . headphone and regular guitar jack.

I have seen itand played it. I am sorry to say I did not like it much - it was a terrible guitar to play.
The software was excellent though - a cut down version of Guitar Rig, which has to be one of the most amazing things every created by man.
