How can I copy Labwindows/CVI configuration from one Windows user to another?

[redseadiver]

If I add another user to Windows XP, and try to run Labwindows in that new user, the settings seem to be default.

Then when I specify the same Top Workspace, I can't just build the debug and start work.  All the library and various file locations have to be redefined for the new user. 

Is there a way to copy Labwindows options, libraries, configuration, etc. from one Windows user to a different user?

Is there a configuration file or something similar?

Just referencing the Top Workspace again does not do it. 

Sometimes, a setting is forgotten or overlooked and CVI doesn't work the same or gives an error message.  It takes a non-trivial amount of time to do this and figure out what's going on in some cases. 

Any suggestions?

Hi redseadiv,

These settings are stored in the registry, under current user. If you want to migrate your environment settings, you could export those specific registry keys and then import it in the other user's account. There is no export feature built into CVI.

For example, the color of your text is stored in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER»Software»National Instruments»CVI»<Version>»Color Preferences

And the include paths are stored in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER»Software»National Instruments»CVI»<Version>»Include Paths

It goes without saying that editing the registry is an advanced topic and shouldn't be done unless you know what you are doing.
