Hi there,
The reason why Virtual folders do not show up in the Shared Variable Control VI is because Virtual folders do not have a physical address in memory. They are only used in LabVIEW projects to organize information but they will not be saved in the Library itself. If you would like to organize shared variables and be able to see the different categories in the Shared Variable Control, you could create sublibraries and they will appear as in figure1.
