So Color Schemes is an appropriate folder for saved tag lists and customized report options, and who knows what else? What have they to do with color? Since those are created by the user, it would, to many non-programmers, seem logical that those would be saved in as USR files. Why ever would one think they might be saved in the Color Schemes folder? They have nothing to do with the color schemes! I discovered that when I had to reinstall Legacy and found that the arduous work creating and saving Tag Lists and Report Options was lost because they were not saved as USR files. Sleuthing led to the fact that, as the OP discovered, they are saved in the Color Schemes subfolder. Now, when backing up, I make sure to copy not only all my IST files, but also my Color Schemes subfolder. That way, my work is not lost. It would be most helpful if this was made public, just as the necessity of backing up one's USR files has been. It would be even more helpful if Legacy would include in Help a section devoted to what files and subfolders are important to back up. The ifo about backing up USR files came from this list, not Legacy. Since programmers do not think the way users do, they should give us that info. Problems do happen; people do have to reinstall. It would be so simple to tell us where the personalized lists are stored, and maybe even include them as check boxes for backups.
