That created the folder C:Users\bob\My Documents\gnucash. I copied the latest .gnucash and .xac files from the corresponding folder in Ubuntu. Once I did that, I think the next time I started GnuCash in Windows 7 I had to double-click on the .gnucash file that I had just copied from Ubuntu.

Right, because the M$Win Gnucash doesn't know what the last files the Ubuntu Gnucash had open. You can also open the file from the menu with File>Open.
