If you add your Labview installation directory to the "Path" Environment variable of your computer, it should work.  Windows just looks in all those locations when you just type the program's filename.

Maybe you'd be interested in testing Colibri, it's an application launcher, quite handy if you have different version of LabVIEW installed.

  1. Strike the "hot key"
  2. Type the first letter of the name of the app you want to launch
  3. Press "Enter"
  4. There you are...

To launch the version you want, you can type "71" to launch LV 7.1.1 or "82" to launch LV 8.20. I couldn't imagine a day without using this soft even if it's not as good as QuickSilver for Mac...

I had used a similar program in the past, but found it used too much in terms of memory usage and CPU usage. Colibri looks pretty good. There's a bunch of these programs available.

Hi Narendra,

To change the PATH environment variable:
    1. Right-click on My Computer, and then click Properties.
    2. Click the Advanced tab.
    3. Click Environment variables.
    4. Click on the PATH variable within the Systems Variables list.
    5. Click Edit.
    6. Append the search paths for the applications you would like to launch.  Paths must be separated by semicolons.  (For LabVIEW 8.20, the default path would be: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2)
    7. Click OK three times to close all of the dialog boxes.

You must be an administrator to modify a system environment variable. System environment variables are defined by Windows and apply to all computer users. Changes to the system environment are written to the registry, and usually require a restart to become effective.

Thanks to Microsoft.com for providing most of this information here.

Cheers,
