It bears repeating: the folder on Windows in which the gcm files live
(c:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash) is hidden by default.
File Explorer won't show it, and won't return it as a search result.
The About dialog since at least 4.13 (the version I'm running) includes links
directly to this location, however, and you can type %APPDATA% in the File
Explorer address bar to go there directly.
