Cannot get Windows Send To function to work with LabVIEW

[Peeker]

Hi!

I'm trying to get the Windows Send To function (from right click on file) to work with LabVIEW, but I seems it won't work.

I've added ashortcut to LabVIEW in the Sent To folder, and it shows when i right click on a file, but nothing happens when i choose Send To -> LabVIEW.

The reason for wanting to do this is that our version control program (Rational ClearCase) is not set up to be able to recognize and compare *.vi files, so right click and Send To in the version tree would be very helpful for seeing old versions.

Thanks.

Wow. I was surprised to duplicate this behavior as well. Very surprising.

At any rate there is a simple enough work around. I made a batch file and then put a link to the batch file in the SENDTO folder.

Contents of my LV.bat (don't even need the echo off either if you don't want)
================
@echo off
"c:\program files\national instruments\labview 7.0\labview.exe" %1
=================

Just make sure the path you use is the path to your actual labview executable.

This pops up a dos box very briefly but it works.
