I posted an idea on the idea exchange on viewing a vim's instance VI, but it looks like that ability was added to LabVIEW at some point (by AQ?). The labview.ini token allowOpenFPOfInstanceVIs changes the behavior of the Convert Instance VI to Standard VI option to instead open the instance VI. I'd been using the convert to standard / ctrl+z method but it's very easy to forget the ctrl+z bit. This token is much more useful.
