Susan, Since you haven't had any other responses, I will comment.
You SHOULD be able to copy all the .USR files without problem. Once in a while you will encounter a problem that will require removing a .USR file or other files and allow the system to re-create them. That said, you might want to create a folder under c:\legacy called MySettings and copy all the NEW .USR files into this folder, copy all the .USR files from the old computer and give it a try. If all works well, you are good to go. If you have problems, you can just copy the files from c:\legacy\MySettings folder back into the c:\legacy folder overwriting the older .USR files. Since you installed the exact same version of Legacy onto the new computer as the old computer, you can also opt to copy every file (Not the folders) in the c:\legacy folder from the new computer to the new folder "MySettings" and then copy all files from c:\legacy (Not the folders) on the old computer to c:\legacy on the new computer. This will ensure all files are transferred.

Please let me know if my questions are confusing, or is it that this is regarding version 5, so no one can help with that anymore?
