GnuCash folders in Vista home folder

[Dollar Bill]

yes.  i put exactly that in the bat file.  then, deleted the files e.g.
gconf, .gnome2, .gnuchash, .gconfd, etc. from my home folder and relaunched
the app.  i had to manually open my accounting files since i also deleted
the recently used file from the home folder.  GnuCash simply built another
set of the files back in my home directory.
