Open Projects to populate with list of known projects

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined.

If in the middle of building a VI, a user needs to look over something in another project to ensure the 2 programs function together the user clicks File>Open Project this spawns windows explorer where you have to browse to the directory where the project is located at. Since LabVIEW  .ini file contains the paths to known projects, the dialog box should populate with the project names and paths for known projects. This allows the user to one-click the project instead of having push down several directories to get there. Of source the user can still browse to another project path not listed in the INI file if the dialog is coded as such. Just a matter of convenience and ease of use
