Default Need a full list of local files to copy prior to new computer

I'm writing a macro to copy all personal-settings files from a user's local drive to OneDrive so that when they get a new or re-imaged computer, the files can be copy back the new machine. This is for a group of sophisticated users who have highly customized Word and may have customized other Office apps.

Here's my list -- am I missing anything?
  • All Office Templates
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Temp lates\
  • All Office quick access toolbars and ribbon customizations
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office \
  • The newer, roaming custom dictionary
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Offi ce\16.0\daa7b484\Proofing\RoamingCustom.dic
  • Older custom dictionary, still used by some
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UPro of\CUSTOM.DIC
  • AutoCorrects not in Normal template
    C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\MSO1033.acl
  • Custom building blocks
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Docu ment Building Blocks\1033\16\Building Blocks.dotx
  • Exclusion dictionary
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UPro of\ExcludeDictionaryEN0409.lex
  • Startup folder for macros
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word \STARTUP
Other files:
  • Excel XLSTART folder for macros (Personal.xlsb), custom book and sheet templates
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Exce l\XLSTART\
  • Outlook custom signatures
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sign atures\
  • Recent-files list
    C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent\
