Is it possible to hide the LabView Data folder through the labview application?

[Tc@labView]

I really want to get rid of the LabView Data folder in the My Documents Folder that is created when the built labview application is run. Since it does not seem to be possible to remove or relocate it, i was wondering whether it is possible to at least hide it - but I want it to be done automatically, i.e. through the program itself when it is executed.

Thanks

Hi,

you cannot delete the "LabVIEW Data" Folder since your application is active!
It's possible that you change the attribute (hide) for the whole folder before you start the compile process!

If you want to do this automatically, you should ask microsoft which dll is relevant for this scope!

Wow... that sounds pretty difficult to me... is it alternatively possible to have the LabView Data folder created somewhere else?

yes sure - start the "build application or shared library" feature and choose in the tab "Target" another destination and support file directory!
