Is there a way to change the default data path in Legacy?

Image
I am using Legacy version 8.0.0.473. I have moved my data files to C:\Legacy\Data\family name\family.fdb like the image shown below.  I maintain over 30 different family/name data folders. Not all of them have legacy 'family.fdb' files. I have problems with the data being in 'My Documents' such as C:\users\owner\MyDocuments\Legacy Family Tree\family name\family.fdb. I do this because I use the same files and data to create web site updates. The files must be at root: such as C:\Legacy for software and web sites to operated properly with a relative path.  Otherwise I have to create two directory paths and maintain them both in sync. That's a problem.  So, is there a way to change the default data path to one of my choosing?
