Can LabVIEW automatically login to Visual Source Safe?

I'm using LV 6.1 and the Source Code Control tools with MS Visual Source Safe on the backend. When ever I do anything (check in, check out, etc...) the VSS login box appears. Is there a way to get around this?

In browsing the VSS documentation I see that the -y option can be passed to VSS when using the command line (I imagine this is what LV is doing) which allows you to specify a name and password. So is there a way to configure LV to use it?

Or, is there an option in VSS which allows me to have it auto-login on my machine (like how you can configure windows to auto-login a user when it starts)?

I generally will work outside of VSS, but I remeber correctly there was some kind of config that I used so I did not have to login. I think it was somewhere inside VSS that I did it.

Not at work so that I can say for now.

Getting Closer!

I set the SSUSER environment variable to my user name and now VSS can start without login. Also, in LabVIEW if I set my SS configuration to be my VSS project, it will allow me to do check in/out and all the other stuff without logging in. BUT, as soon as I exit and restart labview it asks me to login for everything again until I once again go through the configuration.
