Windows 7 file structure?
That list looks quite good, but I have a few comments, which may only be identifying typos.
C:Program Files... is correct if you have a 32-bit PC version of Windows 7, otherwise it would be C:Program Files (x86)....
The 2nd unins000 file should be unins000.exe (unless you are not displaying known file types).
C:Program Data... should be C:ProgramData... without the space character.
Here, each of the folders Diagrams, Fact Types, Queries, Reports, and Text Schemes should contain a Custom and a Standard sub-folder.
The Custom folders should contain any custom settings files (Ref your previous post, these should have been copied from your old PC).
If these custom settings files are missing, and cannot be retrieved from your old hard drive, you will have to recreate them from scratch.
The Standard folders should contain the same files as in the equivalent Program Files folders.
On my PC LibrariesDocumentsCalico Pie... is LibrariesDocumentsPublic DocumentsCalico Pie....
I guess LibrariesDocumentsHoward... is a replica of your old PC ...My DocumentsHoward... folder contents.
FYI: To get an absolute file path, instead of a Library path in Windows 7, click in a the Windows Explorer path bar at the very top, to the right of the path, and it will convert to the traditional C:FolderFolder... format, which can copied & pasted into postings, etc.
You list Gedcom census 5-4-0, which is not the latest offering from Nick Walker.
The latest version is Gedcom_Census_6_0_6.exe, but this has been superseded by Ancestral Sources V1.1, which will soon be updated to V2.0.
Ancestral Sources does everything that Gedcom Census did plus a lot more, and V2.0 will support Baptism as well as Census records, to be followed by other BMD records.

Windows 7 file structure?
Ref this post and my previous re Broken Win XP PC.
Many thanks for your help over these problems. I think they are now resolved. I'm certainly a little wiser re file structure. The were a few typos in my last post !!!!
Gedcom census will be updated to the latest version at sometime in the future as is a move most probably to V4 FH.
But I've got to sort out all my photos on the new PC first, but that's another story.
Once again many thanks
Howard.
