Relocation of 'LabVIEW Data\' directory

[Justin_Reina]

For my installation of LabVIEW Community 2020 (v20.0), I keep getting a directory 'LabVIEW Data\' created in my Documents directory, all the time!

I don't want this there and delete that but then it reappears, multiple times per day - is this possible to setup to a different location?

Open LabVIEW.  Find the Tools menu, click Options, find the "Paths" option, change "Default Data Directory" to your choice.

My practice is to leave this alone.  I create my own folder, "LabVIEW", where I keep my own code.  I let LabVIEW have "LabVIEW Data" for its "LabVIEW working files", and I use my "LabVIEW" folder for my VIs and Projects.
