Minimizing Unused Accounts

[Mike C.]

It is also still available in the Tools>Security Editor, all the income 
accounts, and the asset list when you click the Grand Total at the 
bottom of the Chart of Accounts.  It is probably a lot to ask to hide 
all these lists so a Closed Account account for assets and income plus 
adding a new account type called Closed Account at least separates these 
from the active accounts.
