[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1698391"] The reason this happened is that the Migration Assistant instructions were not followed: you're supposed to do the Migration as outlined in the initial Mac setup BEFORE you create an account. If you do so after creating an account, it can't move certain types of files over for fear of overwriting what's now in place, so it puts them elsewhere. This is done out of an abundance of caution regarding the safety of your new files. [/QUOTE]
