Disregard my post about putting it in the root directory. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall then let Legacy go to the default (C:\Program Files (x86)).

This also allows each user, with a different user account on the same machine to have control of their "Options" when they are using their account on their data files. The moving to the data to another drive can and may cause problems. This trick has been around since the Windows 98 (if not 95) days and has NOT always worked even for the experts. Yes, when programs are install in the "C:\Program Files (x86)" folder, then the normal user cannot tweek the program, and MOST program OEM's do not support the tweeking of these files. Those that you can tweek, are in the "_appdata" area for each user.
