How do I turn back on the splash screen?

[erdc3]

I have both Labview 5.1 and 8.6 loaded on my PC, but it is now defaulting to 5.1 when ever I click on a VI.

I have tried to select OPEN WITH 8.6, but it still opens 5.1. With the splash screen I could at least select from there the files I want 8.6 to open with.

Is this on Windows? The version of LabVIEW that you close last will be the one that is used as default. Thus, if you close 8.6 last, then double-clicking on a VI file will open it with 8.6. Same thing with "open with".

Yes, it is on Windows XP.

For now, I have made a work around batch file where I just "SLIDE" the VI that I want into the Batch DOS screen and then hit enter.

Here is the code that I am using in case someone else is interested in it.

MODE CON: COLS=60 LINES=5
@ECHO OFF
:start
cls
set /p FILENAME=Slide the LabView program into this DOS screen:
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\LabVIEW.exe" %FILENAME%
goto start:
