Opening Labview Programs : Desktop Only???

[Delian]

As my code has become more and more complicated, I notice that it takes longer and longer to open because I am using more and more VI's. I tried to open my programs on other places on my laptop, yet it seems like the only place where the program will actually fin the VI's is whn it is on the desktop. If it is not on the desktop, it will search for a long time, until I get bored and click ignore item to all of them, at which point my program is filled with a bunch of VIs which are just question marks. I talked to our programming mentor about this, and he said it was B.S. that I could not save and run my programs in other places. I also tried changing the location for where the search starts, but that did not help either.

Any ideas on why this is happening?
