dual boot win7 and linux - gnucash files?

[ETS]

You say "~/.gnucash/ under Linux" - you are speaking in tongues to this 
newbie :)  I opened the folder labeled "home" on my desktop (Mate) and 
there is no "gnucash" there.  I did a search on the "file system" for 
gnucash, and ended up with 20 folders with "gnucash" in their title, and 
1104 "items" in the results box.  Searching my windows drive "users" 
folder for "gnucash" shows 38 items (most of the log files), and 2 
appcrash folders.  I did find a folder labeled aqbanking with 2 
subfolders called  backends and settings in it and copied that into my 
home folder, though.  Is that where it goes? - Elmar
