Using recursion this VI counts the number of VI files there are in the directory you select and all its subdirectories. The VI will include the VI's bundled inside library files (llb).
This program is an example of tail-end recursion. Each subdirectory will spawn a new instance of the VI and will be added to the parent to create a final file count.
Note: Use of this recursive program with a large directory or file-system (i.e. C:\) as the Folder Path may take a very long time to run.
