Hi Helen, In Legacy 8, you can keep your Legacy Family Files wherever you like. It's a good idea to set Options - Customise - 6.1 to that folder.
However, you cannot shift My Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData. This is the folder that holds your settings. If you move it, it will be recreated with defaults the next time you open Legacy and you will have lost your settings. Your Legacy Family Files are made up of a series of files of the format <yourfamilyfile name>.xxx where xxx is a 2 or 3 letter extension. The data is held in the <yourfamilyfile name>.fdb Since you have to have the My Documents\Legacy Family Tree\ folder, I'd put them in the Data folder in that folder unless you have really good reasons to put them somewhere else. Use the options at Options - Customise 1.2 to make sure you are opening the same file each time or keep a sharp eye on the path in the title bar if you're one of those that have files of the same name scattered across your computer.
