• Advanced keyboard option—Specifies whether to disable special key capabilities for certain Users or groups.
  • Users or groups—Specifies the users or groups for whom you want to disable special key capabilities.

    Note  If you list a user or group in the Users or groups listbox, LabVIEW disables special key capabilities for all users and groups not listed in the listbox.
