Make copies of the pictures you use into the Legacy\Pictures directory. I regfularly copy my files fromdesktop to laptop via a flash drive. On my desktop PC the Legacy files are on the E: drive, and on the laptop they are on the C: drive, but the pictures come actrossd fine. I triy to remove any data I find under "Documents and Settings" to somewhere else. I have "Ny Documents" set to a proper directory that I can see, and not something several directories down in what I regard as a system file, which I might delete it by mistake, not realising that there is something important there. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.geocities.com/hayesstw/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
