What options can be in a labview created .exe's .ini file?

Every executable created by labview has a .ini file associated with it. What options can I enter into this file?. I was told that entering a section with the name of the executable and HideMainWindow=True would stop 2 entries being made in the system tray. I either didn't understand or it doesn't work. I am wondering where can I find a documented list of entries that can be made in the .ini file?
 
Thanks in advance. Any help would be appreciated.

Someday it will be updated for next couple of versions. I have the
data, I just have to format it.

For the keys to work they need to be in a section that has the same name as the executable. For instance, the program MyApp.exe might have a MyApp.ini file containing something like:

[MyApp]
hideRootWindow=true

Mike...
 
PS: it also helps of you have the name of the key right...

First, like Mike said, it would help if you had the correct line, which is "HideRootWindow=True".
 
Second, you should find at least a partial listing here, but be warned, there is usually no reason to play with these options and they might change between versions. Also, some of them are configurable from within LV. The root window hiding is definitely a useful one (although it can also be dangerous). Another useful examples is setting colors.
