I'm not sure why you would want to do this. I can see doing this at 
year-end, but for month-to-month, you should just adjust the dates of 
reports you are running. Otherwise, if you try to 0-out these accounts, 
you'll have to offset them somewhere and they won't really go away.

right-click on "Banking Fees", select "Edit Account", in the window that 
appears, mid-right side, is a "parent account" list, select "Personal 
Expenses", click "OK" and you're done.
