How do I see the source code for 'NI Example Finder'?

At the LabView Express demo, the rep showed us how to view the source code for 'NI Example Finder' (started with Help, Find Examples...). Please refresh my memory.

Todd,

I am pretty sure that the example finder is built into an executable app for LabVIEW 7.

Todd,
Jim is correct. The Example Finder is an executable that ships with LabVIEW. It is located under
Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\Example Finder\1.0\BIN

Thanks, Jim and Zvezdana. I'll ask the rep what it was I saw.

There are a couple of VI's that shipped with LabView 7.0, but you can't see the diagrams.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\resource\system\HelpServer.llb\Run Example Finder__NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS.vi
Press Ctrl-E on this VI and it prompts you for a password.
This VI is run by C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\resource\system\HelpServer.llb\HelpServer__NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS.vi
There's also C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\help\_exfinder.llb\Example Finder Launcher.vi.
Tyring to open this VI starts the NI Example Finder. Note the taskbar icon which is different from the normal VI icon.
It seems like NI is trying to keep us out, even if it used LabView to develop the Example Finder.
