Legacy 8 has lots of flexibility with respect to files.
The first thing you need to do is go to option 12.5 to reset how you select a new file.
I also have a lot of files. I have them in a folder on my D drive. That is where I expect to find a file. So... I set Option 6.1 to that folder and that is where Legacy always starts with the navigation.
Option 1.2 controls which Family file to open when you start Legacy.
Now... do you see the big L in a circle on the top left? Click on that and you will see the list of the last 10 Family Files that you have opened.
Does this answer your question?

I almost always want to start with my main file but then want to switch. See my response to Ron.

- I changed it to "Always prompt" but it still brings up the list of file locations found and doesn't allow me go directly to the desired file.
