Thanks, Sherry. Your second paragraph explains it all: security reasons. Just one more reason that I've avoided Vista like the H1N1 virus. I'm wondering about Windows 7, the replacement for Vista. I suspect that Microsoft will follow the same programming interface which insists all data be written to a "Documents and Settings" folder for the User or to a different non-Windows folder that the user can select. I can wait. Yawn.

That's not true. I have some other programs which want to be installed to the root. Never tried installing them to Program Files folder to find out what happens if they're installed there - I've had enough problems with "losing" files which were written to the program folder under c:\Program Files folder by default. Legacy writes files to the c:\Legacy folder and Vista doesn't like files to be written to the program folder under c:\Programs. Security reasons. C:\Legacy has always been the default installation for Legacy. Thanks for using Legacy.

Why is Legacy the only software in the entire Milky Way Galaxy that *REQUIRES* a Vista installation folder of C:\Legacy instead of the usual default C:\Program Files\Legacy?
