That was changed when they decided to install Legacy into the Program Files folder, which is where it should have been in any case. Access to that folder in controlled and they cannot just dump personal data files into it, so they had to find a different location for them.
By default they decided to use My Documents\Legacy Family Tree\.... for its folders, but you can change that from the Options > Customise > 6 Locations to set them where you want them. At least it does keep a different set of settings across multiple different Legacy files if you have multiple families. If you have 'lost' media you can run the Tools > Media Relinker to see if any are missing and find them. Alternatively, let it generate a list of missing media and then locate them yourself, and move them if needed and then reset the media link in the item. One issue that I have with Legacy and media files is that it wants to put them all into a single folder while I want them structured, so that I get \Media\Census\England 1851, \Media\BMD\Marriage etc. Whenever I attach a new media item to an entry I get asked if I want to move it or leave it where it is, with the option to stop asking for that session. What I really want is to force the default to assume that I have already moved the media to the correct location and stop trying to move it.

In V 7.5 my pictures were in a folder under C:Legacy. All the pictures are visible on my Family pages in Legacy 9. However, when I go to add a picture now it looks in the default My Documents/Legacy Family Tree/Media. If I move my Picture folder from where it is now to the default, what will I have to do to get Legacy to find them all again? Jennifer
