If Legacy wants to put everything on the C drive and I am supposed to use the Libraries (which are under the C drive/User) what on earth am I supposed to do with the E drive!!!! Sorry - this is getting away from Legacy in some ways but I just want to make sure I am going to put things in the right place!!! Basically this computer will only be used for the Family Tree!
