I discovered a couple of days ago that if I double-click my
whatever.GnuCash file, GnuCash will open and open that file.

And, in both Windows 7 and Windows 8 (two different laptops), where I
have GnuCash pinned to the Start Menu, opening the file in that way
automatically adds a sub-menu item for the particular file. So I can
open GnuCash from the Start Menu and have it automatically open the file
I want to work with.

Re: Saving Files

Most of us save our Gnucash file(s) to a sub directory/folder under our
Documents folder so we don't clutter up our desktop :-)  Gnucash creates
log files every time you open it and do transactions with it so just
another reason to keep it off the desktop - you can set whether to retain
log files and for how long - Preferences / General / Retain log/backup
files.

On Windows if you start up Gnucash it'll open your last file automatically
so you must be moving it/deleting it/doing something to it for Gnucash not
to find it !!!

Cheers Dave H.

Don't send messages to individuals unless asked to do so. Send questions to
