In a normal windows based computer the Legacy Family Tree folder is
located in the user's Documents folder. It looks like your Parallels is
using the Mac side for the user's Windows documents folder so that is
where Legacy created your Legacy Family Tree folder to hold all the user
related data it needs.
The sub-folders in that folder should include _AppData which Legacy uses
for settings and working files, Data where the user's Data files are
stored by default and a variety of other folders like Media, LegacyFS
(used with the FamilySearch interface module), LegacyCharting
(self-explanatory), Sample-Media (for media belonging to the Sample file
provided with Legacy) and web (for use when creating web pages).
The first two folders you mention on the Windows side are created by the
install program and contain the program and its support files. You
should not attempt to make any changes to those two folders since they
are in restricted access areas.

Is there a map showing where Legacy's files are stored?
I am running Legacy on a Mac using Parallels, so some of my confusion
may relate to the emulator.
I find them here:
* In C:/Program Files (x86) there is a "Legacy9" folder. This looks to
be the main application with its supporting files.
* In C:/Program Data there is a "Legacy Family Tree" folder that seems
to hold nothing other than the Geographic database.
But I also have a Legacy Family Tree folder on the Mac side in
Document. This one is the one that baffles me, unless it has something
to do how Parallels stores the info.
