Getting Started Window
Use the Getting Started window to create new projects from templates and sample projects or to open existing LabVIEW files as soon as you open LabVIEW. You also can access resources to expand the capability of LabVIEW and information to help you learn about LabVIEW.
The Getting Started window disappears when you open an existing file or create a new file, and reappears when you close all open front panels and block diagrams. You can display the window by selecting View»Getting Started Window.
You can configure LabVIEW to open a new, blank VI on launch instead of displaying the Getting Started window.
