My logs are not going to the proper folder.
When I put in C/users/ me now/documents/ freefilesync....etc, I find no logs
The program insists on C/users/an old me//documents/ freefilesync...etc and it's putting the logs there.
It actually insisted on making a new "oldme" folder before it would work.
Can someone help me to guide this program to save the logs in the proper folder?
me now refers to the name on this new computer.
old me is a name from my previous computer.
Thanks for any help!

Note that the log-folder setting is user specific.
FFS writes the logs to the specified folder according to the user credentials under which the FFS sync is run.
If you run a sync from the FFS GUI when logged in as the [me now] user, it should follow your
C/users/[me now]/documents/ freefilesync....etc setting.
But if you have a sync running as a scheduled task, and that task is (still) being run under your [oldme] credentials, FFS will follow (amongst others) the log-folder settings saved in the GlobalSettings.xml file for the [oldme] user, likely your C/users/[oldme]/documents/ freefilesync...etc
