Of all those items the only thing you can move is the \Songs. If you move any of the other files the program will not work. The purpose of moving the files is to get compliant with Microsoft for all their operating systems.
As an added benefit, by moving those files where MTU did it will allow for each user on the computer to have their own Songs database, playlists and Songbook.

Your song files (KMA) should have been moved to C:\Songs according to the manual. If they are not there look in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\MTU\Songs.

Again, all this was done to be compliant with what Microsoft has designed the operating systems to work with. You and I may be using XP and not have a problem with the previous locations, but Vista is a real stickler for programs following the rules set by Microsoft. If they don't then you have seen what happens since you originally had Vista.
You have always been able to select your KMA files location and still can through the Import screens and the Build Database screen. Many of us put our KMA files on external or additional hard drive to protect those files from system hard drive crashes.
