Thank you Brian - that is the information I need.
I have had a long-term problem with Legacy crashing when I try to access some parts of the Customise (particularly, section 6 = Locations). So it might be useful for me to remove/delete the _AppData under Legacy, and start again. That is a separate problem - I hope it is fixed that way. The move of Windows 10 Documents is unrelated to Legacy - it is on an SSD which is a bit small, and something else than Downloads, Documents and Legacy is using space on that location and I have larger HDD to use for Docs, Legacy, etc. -------------------------------------- I.L.

When legacy starts if it does not see the _appData folder in the Windows Documents folder for the user it will create a new one using the default copies from the Legacy Install files in the Windows Program Files folders. This will effectively reset all your options to default values.
