But when it comes to the Windows OS, the fact that Legacy still places data files in the program folder is the most obvious and totally ridiculous issue! Separate folders for Program Files and Data Files have been the standard since I bought my first PC in 1995. Millennia's only "solution" to their not being standards-compliant is to tell users to install the program in a place that is contrary to Microsoft standards and then to turn-off Microsoft recommended security features. To them this somehow equates to Legacy being Windows 7 compliant.
