LabView initialization/registry entries

[dgholstein]

LabView in Win XP Pro/Home "Limited" mode doesn't allow me to save LabView settings, though I can edit/run/compile VIs within my file space.  I presume also, that two different users would be forced to share the same settings on the same computer when they log in with their respective user names.

How do we store the LabView settings in the CURRENT_USER registry/file space?

BTW:  I use "Limited" mode since I don't think admin priviledges should be used for anything besides SYSTEM maintenance -- if everyone used "Limited" mode, Win users would never get system-level viruses.

Which LabVIEW settings are you talking about.

Most of the development settings are held in an ini file in the same folder as the LabVEW.exe. You can create multiple ini files and use a command line parameter to launch LabVIEW with a specified ini file. I believe the format is "<path to LabVIEW folder>/LabVIEW.exe -pref <path to ini file>

I really don't think there's anything you can do about where LabVIEW puts it's registry entries since that's really an OS thing and where it decides to write them depends on what level the user is set to.

LabVIEW does not use the registry for user settings only the ini file is used there.

You can copy the inifile from its original location, edit it and call labview with that inifile as Ed mentioned.
