Earl: There are some Excellent OpenG Tools for saving configuration items like this (see http://openg.org)
In general it is both impossible and inadvisable to save your configuration as default values at runtime. The reason it is inadvisable is that it subverts your version control. By changing default values your software has "changed" and you have a new version. It's better to keep user-modifiable items in a separate file which is not subject to revision control. Even if you're not doing any formal revision control, it's still helpful to your sanity to know when a certain piece of software was last changed.

Basically, I have a panel that allows the user to make changes to some controls and I need to save the settings so that the next time that LabVIEW is loaded, the user's modifications to the controls are there? This will occur at runtime, so 'Operate' and 'Make Current Values Default' will not work. There are clusters and menu items (8 of each) and I would like to save their values as default without writing external file(s). Any tips are welcome and certainly appreciated!!! Thanks, Earl
