I do have it under File I/O. It's just that the search never showed it. It does show in quick drop. It just happens that when I went to look for this (actually I originally looked for Empty Path thinking that's what it was), I used the search tool rather than Quick Drop.
(Win XP, LV 2009sp1)
See attached. The search for Not a Path gave me the dialog to the left. When I clicked on the Not A Path constant, it took me to the palette location shown on the right.

Raven's Fan You must have edited your palettes

No. As I said, I do have that constant under the File I/O palette. See attached. I have not done any palette editing.
The problem is when I use the Search button at the top of the palette to try to find "Not a Path", the one under File I/O does not show up as a result, only the constant that is under 7.x >> OpenG palette.. (See the earlier attachment)

I see this bug still exists in LV 2009 SP1. Has abybody found a solution for this issue?
Thanks!

Did you look at the message that was marked as the solution? http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/write-to-measurement-file-vi-bug/m-p/1020325#M454941
The bug was fixed in LabVIEW 2010.

What is the name of the box that is connected to the "f" input of the "Select" function:
Also I do not want the user to specify the filename; I want to set the filename and the path in the properties of the Write to Measurement File VI. How will it work in this case?

It is the Not a Path function.
Create a path constant rather than a path control and feed that into the True input of the select function.
