You can trun off the menu while the VI is running by going into the VI properties (right click on the VI icon and select 'Properties). Then from the Catagory selestion box, select Window Appearance, click the Customize button, then uncheck the Show Menu Bar check box and hit OK twice. That shold do it.
Note that this will only turn off the menu while the VI is running. The standard menu will always be showing when the VI is not running.

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