Startup Failure

[Mike C.]

I agree it looks like I am not seeing all the files but I have only one 
account and it is administrator.  I looked at the files on 2 other 
computers and they looked the same. The .gnucash folder is marked read 
only in the properties but after you change it, close properties, and 
open properties again, it is again read only.  The .gnucash folder that 
works is also read only and does the same thing when you delete the read 
only selection.
