Legacy will always recreate the Legacy Folder unless you move the
location of your Documents folder using Windows. It needs to have the
_Appdata folder in your Documents\Legacy Family Tree folder so if you
move the Legacy Family Tree folder outside your Documents Legacy will
recreate it next time you run the program. Cannot remember exactly how
but I think you need to right click on your Documents folder and change
the properties to point to a new location.This move will affect all
programs which use your Documents folder to store files.
You can however use the Legacy settings in Section 6 to change the
default location of your data and media files so they can be wherever
you wish.

Thank you. That was a clear explanation. I wonder if I can install (or
relocate) the Legacy folder in Documents to elsewhere. Not a big deal
either way.

thank you Brian Kelly for a very clear response - just opened my
Windows File Explorer to check on this - and all is good.

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.
