Another way of adding items to your palette is by saving the folder which includes the "dir.mnu" file and all the VIs into your "\labview\user.lib" directory. LabVIEW will automatically update its "user library" palette next time it launches.
There are more explanation on this behavior (palette- directory synchronization)on LabVIEW help. On LabVIEW "Help" menu, choose "VI, Function, How-to help...". After LabVIEW help is launched, click the "index" tab, type in "palettes, adding objects to libraries". Hope you find this helpful.
