Hi, Jorge,

I guess, I can explain the problem mentioned above. 😉

Jeyanthi tried to set default path for Open Dialog to "My Computer" and unable to do it (because "My Computer is not folder and not part of the file system).

I think its nearby impossible with embedded LabVIEW dialog, because default path should be set to ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} in this case, and such path prohibited by LabVIEW. This may be possible with .net Open Dialog.

best regards,

Andrey.
