I can understand that, Kirstin, and saving the USR files to disc or a new
folder on your hard drive will do this for you. What I find though is that
although my main screen colours tend to stay the same for a long period of
time ( I do get fed up with them and change them now and again) the settings
for reports, web pages and to a lesser extent the wording of events etc are
being changed so frequently that it simply is not worthwhile. As I said, I
would save the lot if I was reformatting and tend to do so also when a new
version of Legacy comes out.
I emphasise, however, that this is only my way of working and like many
other things different people will have different ways of doing things. At
the end of the day the choice is with each user.

Ron,
When I reformated I had to start all over with customizing the options. I
would like to be able to save my settings, so I can import them & not have
to change every little detail (color, check boxes, etc).

Kirstin,
I am not clear about the first part of your question. There is no real
need to back-up these files as if they become corrupted then they can just
be deleted and Legacy will recreate them when you reset your settings. The
point I was making was only in relation to an occasion when one wanted to
reformat the disc and not as a general back-up. I don't back them up -
except that if a new version of Legacy comes out I do as a "just in case"
precaution.
The files in question are those which have a .USR extension and assuming
that you are using the Legacy defaults may be found by going to My
Computers>Local Disc (C)>Legacy.
Hope this helps.
