In the Project Explorer window, the one that starts up after you've opened a project, there are two tabs: Items (the default) and Files.
Files lists all the project files that are being linked in, and exactly where in the disk file structure they are coming from.

In the first attachment all the (non-library) project files are located together in the directory: C/Users/Developer/Documents/LabVIEW Data/Golf v6
Developer is the Windows user account.

In the second attachment I've added a couple of files from another directory called: 2010 T358-Robot v4-Cam indicator
So you can see that the files are not all together in a single project folder, but spread across two project folders.


The easy answer is to be sure to copy or move files via Windows into your LabVIEW project folder before adding them only from there to your LabVIEW project. Any common vi's you want to share across projects, and don't want to have multiple copies, should go into the custom vi user library (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\user.lib), that way they'll be readily available via the palette too. If you do have shared vi's you will have to remember to copy them along with your project folder when you transfer or backup a project.
