How do I modify a standard VI

I am currently trying to tweak a standard vi included with Labview 7.0 (Append front panel image to report). I want to tweak a couple of the settings when I double click the icon. The catch is that I want the changes to only come into effect when I run MY VI. That is when I go create a different VI at a later date and I want to use "Append Front Panel Image to report" I want it to be the original one and not the modified one.

I am sure it is something simple and i am just missing something. Thanks

This is actually done quite often. Just modify the VI to your needs and use Save As... from the File menu and save it to your user.lib directory with a different name.

Make sure you save with a different name or you may run into name conflicts between your VI the vi.lib VI.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
