GnuCash always re-opens the last file it had open when you exited.
So...

Create a new data file, save, it, and then exit.  Then GnuCash will open
this new data file the next time.

OR, if you have another (older) file, File -> Open that and then exit.
Either way, you'll make a "real" file the "last opened file".
