I'd like to create a shortcut to a top-level VI

My colleague and I are working on a LabVIEW program for a test station, and we have saved the program as a library. Now that it's time to put the program into service, we'd like to put a shortcut on the Windows desktop so that operators can quickly start the test program. I've been able to create a shortcut to the library, but I'd prefer to shortcut directly to the top-level VI. Can it be done?
Thank you very much!

Hi Dan,

If the vi is top level, the shortcut to the library should open the vi.
If not it must be because windows is openning llb's with another application than LabVIEW (Normally I.E.).
Right click on the shortcut, choose open with, choose LabVIEW and mark the option allways use this program to open this type of file.
It should work then.
Hope it helps,
Paulo
