The Legacy.usr file is the main one that holds the settings in Options > Customize and if you wish to save those for any reason, you can certainly do that. The legacy.usr is the only one I'd worry about saving since it holds the most options and settings. Also, if you're concerned about saving the Legacy folder to save your files in the event the hard drive crashes, you might want to save reports, color schemes that you've created, saved report settings (for frequently used reports), files in the c:\Legacy\Data folder and the Legacy.usr file.
When you uninstall Legacy, only those components which Legacy installs are removed. Other items that *you* create are protected, such as reports, saved report settings, usr files, saved color schemes, web pages, files in the Data folder, etc. It's always best to just download the latest build of Legacy from our website if you need to restore the program for any reason. Otherwise, you'll do an install from your saved Legacy6Setup.exe file and will still need to go to the website to check for an update. Thanks for using Legacy.

You only need to transfer the set-up.exe (and of course the Data files), but in doing so all the user settings will be lost. To retain these I *think* one would have to transfer the Legacy folder and then run the set-up.exe. Sherry would need to clarify this point. *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!
