Hi !
Yes, you could make sub-vi with disabled some options, and at your 'main' vi
add sequence with two frames: first for sub-vi and 'wati[ms]' function and
second for your 'main' program.
When you mouse right-click at right corner on icon and select 'VI Setup'
- at 'Window Options'
- disable all options (or enable 'Dialog Box' - try to use it for known
differences).
....yes... at 'Execute Optioions'
enable: 'surround panel...' and 'Show front panell when called' and 'Close
Afterwards..."
and some pictures...you can use any graphic programs (ex.
Paint Shop Pro)
and copy to clipboard picture what you want to use and at LAbView form
Menu: Edit : Paste and... 'Thats All Folks'

I hope it could help you [: )]

Thank You Mikrobi,
your solution is a good one but not fixed my problem that's why I would like
to show a "Welcome Window" immediately after double click on icon application.
In this way the user is notify that the program is loading.

What you're looking for is called a "splash screen". The info-labview has
an example at http://labview.pica.army.mil/archives/vi/lv4/. You might also
want to check the mail list archives as well because I know there have been
several threads over the years regarding this subject.
