Currently LabVIEW settings like

 

and auto save information like

last projects and

last VIs

are saved in LabVIEW.ini

 

Please split this up in two files (maybe LabVIEW.ini and AutoSave.ini). This helps to check for changes in the settings. I suppose to save the auto save information per user. (See this idea.)

I have made a small Windows command script that allows to easily start a project with its own LabVIEW preferences files.

The command is

start "" "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\LabVIEW.exe" -pref "%~dpn1.lv86ini" "%~f1"

It starts the project using a LabVIEW preference in the same directory where the project is located. If the file does not exist, it is created there (you can keep using the .ini extension instead of .lv86ini)

I then add this script in the Explorer shell for the lvproj extension to Open it with the RBMenu ("Démarrer" means Start):
