Your last paragraph is exactly why I don't put anything on the C Drive. I reformat at least once a year if not more when things start getting cluttered and causing problems. Windows XP updates tend to bring more problems than they solve. I also use an external drive only for archiving old stuff that is never online so unless I already have a virus in the system, they are protected aside from Norton Anti-Virus.
I know some people probably never clear the old junk off their computers and wonder why they have problems after years of clutter. -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of Brian L. Lightfoot Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 4:37 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Help required You and I (and probably many others) think alike on this. My data folders reside on a totally different physical hard drive other than C:. Ive been doing it this way for quite a while and Legacy is perfectly happy with those non-default locations. Personally, I dislike any program that invades the root of my C: drive, such as the default C:\Legacy but maybe that's just me being somewhat anal about keeping all related files and programs organized together. One additional caveat about using a different physical drive for the Legacy data folder is that it tends to isolate the data away from virus and Trojans which are usually programmed to wreak havoc with the C: drive. Whenever necessary, I am free to format C: without losing or disturbing any data files. Brian in CA From: William H.
