Thanks.

I use /my/ extension ".gnucash". It works pretty well if the file 
gnucash.bat in .\Program Files\gnucash\bin is flagged.

Note that it does not work with the file gnucash.bin since then some 
needed components are not loaded at start. I think this is what the .bat 
file does - certainly among other things like language settings I guess.

Now it would make my day if the files with extension .gnucash are shown 
with the little GnuCash picture in the file explorer. Any idea on that?
