How to capture user's preferences?

[Helper]

Hi,
I have a VI that always asks the user to select the colors that he wants to be used in the display. Is there any way to save the settings that the user sets such that the next time a particualr user logs in, his/her settings will be remembered? I am just looking for suggestions/broad ideas of how I should go about accomplishing this,
Thanks,
Alex

You could use a config file to hold the preferences. Use the Configuration File VIs under the File I/O palette. Read from the file at the begining of the vi to set things up, then save the file at the end if the user changes any preferences.

Hope this helps!

If you want to use it for different users, i prefer to use the registry
VI's. They are avaible with LabVIEW 6i under Advanced -> Registry.
