Any way to disable LabVIEW 2009 Log In dialog?

[iannicholson]

LabVIEW 2009 is asking me to log in, with only one user. LabVIEW 8.6 did not do this. Is there a way to disable the dialog? Or is it standard behavior starting with 2009? It is a minor annoyance, but when drop through clicks are disabled, it is tricky to get this dialog to let me past.

I don't believe any version of LabVIEW's development environment has user management or logins. Can you show a screenshot of the dialog you are seeing?

Uncheck: "Tools > Options > Security > Login option > Show the login prompt at LabVIEW Startup time"

That's why I said "I don't believe any version of LabVIEW...." I can never be completely certain that a feature isn't in LabVIEW.

crelf,

Thanks for the answer, but I already have that unchecked. Please see the screenshots below:

You might want to add skipNavigatorDialog=True to the labview ini file.

For future reference take a look at:

However, until you know by heart what are the basic property nodes for each LV object I won't tinker with unknown tags since you might add unstable option that you might later use and without knowing cause your application to malfunction between LV versions, for example.

0_o,

Thanks for the info, but I'm not sure that helps. This is occurring before the Welcome screen; isn't that what skipNavigatorDialog=True would suppress?

Also, this apparently is a different dialog from that controlled by "Show the login prompt at LabVIEW Startup time", as I get an additional login dialog with that option checked

Try posting this on ni.com. I suspect the AEs will have a ready response for you. My answer would have been the same as the one crelf already gave you. That login dialog is certainly not on by default in any version of LV.

Have you tried renaming/removing your LabVIEW.ini file and restarting LabVIEW to force creation of a new "vanilla" file?
