Where does LV 2009/2010/2011 save the last used folder?

Solved!
Go to solution
Hello, where does LV2009/LV2010/LV2011 save the last used folder? I need all three versions on my development computer and when i open a project e.g. in LV2010 the folder is "e:\LabVIEW Data 2010\Projects\Project A\". Then i close LV2010 and open LV2011 and when i click on "open" LV2011 starts in the last folder from LV2010 and NOT in my standard data dir "e:\LabVIEW Data 2011\" The same from LV2011. When i open a project in 2011, LV2010 will start in that from the LV2011 project. I believe that the information is stored inside registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU Regards Stefan

Hi,

 

I'm fairly sure that this is a windows feature to save the folder.

 

What do you need this information for?

Is it you who asked the same question a few days ago? If yes, please try to keep 1 thread per discussion so we don't lose history.

 

There was an MRU option in LabVIEW, there no longer is... having the feature you descibe would be nice, I suggest you place an idea on the LabVIEW Idea Exchange and then tr and get people to vote for it so it might come in next LV version.

I found a solution that works for me (didn't find any disadvantage up to now)

 

Original i have these files:

c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\LabVIEW.exe

c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\LabVIEW.exe

and the labview.ini files.

 

I have renamed these file as:

c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\LabVIEW_2010.exe

c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\LabVIEW_2010.ini

 

and

 

c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\LabVIEW_2011.exe

c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\LabVIEW_2011.ini

 

Now the MRU distinguish between two different EXE Names and it works perfect up to now... 

If i have any problems i will post that here.
