I use these VIs. They're from a bunch of Windows utility VIs that I have. Bruce Create Shortcut.vi Set Shortcut Properties.vi

And no more gerrymandering.

Interesting thought... what have we taught them and what do we want to teach them. One of the things I beilve we have taught them is they can buy our vote by passing laws that take money from my neighbors pocket and put into ours. The progressive income tax system let them contrive a scheme where they can treat one group differently from another group thereby giving the polotcal types the option to buy-of one groups vote with the money from another. Oss the progressive income tax and switch to a flat tax system. We have also taught them that they can crate a set of rules we can't touch (senioritiy rules in congress) that put incumbants in a position where they have power over their peers just because they have been elected more times than their peers. I don't see how a history of a congresional district being consistantly stupid over a large period of time, why their rep should have more clout. So term limits and no seniority rules. I think the biggest leason we have to re-teach is "They do not make us happy when they spend our money and put or childrens future in jeopardy." Ben

That's because our leaders are elected to delegate work to their constituents.

The problem with the public application data folder is that only the user that first ran the program will have access to the configuration files the application created under ProgramData. One might say that the data is not really public...ironically enough. So if a second user logs in and you want that user to be able to see the same application configuration and maybe also do things that will affect it - ProgramData will not work unless you change the access properties of the files in programData. There are plenty of web sites that discuss this dilemma, and it's the reason why I suggested this idea on the idea exchange. This is why we normally use the user's application data folder instead if it's a user-run program, but we use the ProgramData folder if it's a service that always runs under the same user. Mads

I always wished there would be a Search 1D Array that uses bisection algorithme when you know that the incoming array is actually sorted. Not sure if an optional input would be good, since someone might enable that on unsorted arrays and get of course strange results I wrote long ago my own for the most common data types but of course it doesn't adapt to the any datatype like a native function would. EDIT: Thinking about it this is not so much the Search 1D Array function but the Threshold 1D Array. Haven't checked that lately but it may use bi-sectional search now. At the time I did a lot with that function (LabVIEW 6 or so) benchmark showed that the algorithm had to be linear since the time grew linear with the index in the array where the searched threshold was.
