How do I turn off the Context Help feature when starting up labview?

Whenever I start labview, the Context Help feature turns on automatically. How do I disable this feature?

Tom,

Not sure if this will work or not, but in the LabVIEW.ini file, an entry is written called "ContextHelpLoc=xx,xx,xx,xx " when LabVIEW is shut down with the Help window open. This item defines the location of the window. If it's there when LabVIEW starts, it reopens the window at that location. If that entry is not there, the window does not open. I don't see anything else that might link to the Context Help Window. Possibly your .ini file is set to read only and preventing LabVIEW from removing this entry from the file when it shuts down.

Not sure what else it would be. Let us know when you figure it out.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
