LabVIEW Getting Started window

[the_intern]

Whenever I close VI, it automatically opens the LabVIEW Getting Started window, which can be annoying occasionaly.

How do I set LabVIEW up in order not to pop up Getting Started window every time I close all VIs ?

LabVIEW opens it when all other VIs are closed, so you can just have a VI which is open all the time. If you don't want to see it, you can have it open a reference to itself and then set the Front Panel Window.State property to Hidden. Note that if it doesn't open a reference to itself it will be unloaded when you do this.

Another thing to note is that LV will still be in memory even though it looks like it isn't.

There is also an option to have LabVIEW skip the Getting Started window when starting up.  Go to Tools>>Options>>Environment, then check the box called "Skip Getting Started window on launch".  The Getting Started window  will still appear when you close all VIs, but this might be helpful if you want to go straight to an empty VI when starting LabVIEW.
