Are you backing up the tree to the thumb drive or is the file there a .fdb file? If you are backing it up there, it is a .zip file and you can't open that directly from Legacy. Legacy will only open .fdb files.
If, however, the file on your thumb drive is the database itself (.fdb file), then go to the General tab on Options->Customize menu. In the 2nd block on the left is "Starting Family File". This setting will determine which file is opened when you launch Legacy.

I have set Legacy to open up with my family tree. Now I am spending the little time I have (I am disabled) trying to find where Legacy put my family tree. Last night when I opened Legacy, my family tree opened automatically. this is happening too many times. How can I find my family tree, the one that opened last night when I opened Legacy?
