Hi John,
I'm pretty sure there is no secret list of all the gnucash data files you've
opened.
This is not a different problem than finding OTHER data on your computer
(data created by other apps, say a document created by a word
processor). Your operating system provides tools to find files by
various "hooks" (name searches, date created or modified, etc. )
So let's star with name. Do you have ANY ideas of what you might have
named your data files? How about the file extension? Would all of your
gnucash data files ended with the same .xyz? (say .gnucash). Even if
your DATA file might not (some of mine don't) gnucash would have been
creating backup and log files in the same directory (file folder) so you
could search for all files ending .log or .gnucash --- try the latter as
other applications might be creating files ending in .log but unlikely
anything but gnucash creating ones ending in .gnucash
REMEMBER --- if you weren't naming your data files to end .gnucash, the
ones you find in that directory ending .gnucash are not what you want,
just getting you to the right directory and showing you earlier parts of
the name you forgot.

PS -- once you know the NAME of your data file, you can start gnucash
and tell it (file=>open) to open THAT file instead of selecting from the
list of four.
