Hi,

I do not think there is an LabView function, that does this. You will have to call a Kernell32 function.

Function

Here is the code. It worked for me. LV2010sp1 win7 32b.

The example is saved as 8.0 vi

If you are about to use that function call in some serious program, please proceed some testing before. I assembled the calling parameters via trial@error technique.
