Is there a way I can configure LV To pick user controls from a different folder

[vishi anand]

than user.lib folder under C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
6.1\

I hate putting my own code where the application software is installed.
Makes it tough to manage in IMHO.

I see that \* is used under Options->VI Paths, so if I can just
modify this userlib environment variable, I should be good to go, but
haven't figured out how to do it.

LabVIEW is much more flexible than most people think. You can configure any folder to show up as a sub-palette of the controls pallette. Just edit the palette. See chapter 3 of the LabVIEW User Manual. You can insert a sub-palette and like it to a directory. That sounds like what you want.
