For LV application builder, why do I see 2 displays down in the bar that shows all running applications?

I am not sure of the name of the bar that shows all your applications that are running. When I create a LV application, I always get two displays in this bar instead on 1. So for example, when I run Excel, I see one display that says excel. When I run my application, I see two displays with the same name. Is there anyway to avoid this?

Put the name of the application in brackets at the top of the .ini file of the application and then the following line:

HideRootWindow=True

If e.g. the application is called Dice.exe the .ini file needs to contain:

[Dice]
HideRootWindow=True

Thanks Mads.

When I use the application builder, I get a number of files including a text setup file. I am unclear as to how to find the .ini file.

Thanks again.

The .ini file is automatically created the first time the application runs so you can run it once, edit that file and then include that in your installation set...or you can create one yourself using e.g. notepad...give it an .ini name extension and put the described lines in it.
