What is the 'best' way to copy a useful project again, so it can be changed without affecting the original?

I'm pretty much a newbie to LavVIEW.

I use LabVIEW complete edition on Windows 7 2012.  I copied a project using Save As duplicate in the Project Explorer.  He created an excessively long and complex directory structure.  He made "too long" (probably from the path being too long).

The intention was to obtain a copy of the project can be used to freely modify it without damaging the original.

I searched the Forum and knowledge base, do not see anything definitive.  I guess that information is already posted, but just, I have not been able to find.  A point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thank you

Mark

Copy the directory of the whole project to a new location

Delete the files .lvlps, .lvprog and the new .aliases copy

Start LabView and create a new empty project

In the project manager, add a new auto fill directory select the new copy of the project directory

Save the new project in the new project directory

Only caveat is that this does not all dependencies in your user.lib or inst.lib for the first time, you open a vi that you might find some of the dependencies that are not in the default locations.
