Jenny, While your method "works" and legacy will find "all the rest" it is not an ideal solution. ltools will report "all the rest" as being in the wrong folder. Better to put all multimedia under C:/Legacy and use Options > Customize > Locations > View Current list of Multimedia Locations and the edit each path.
