Now I have to ask for help

[Mike or Penny Novack]

I had been ignoring paying attention to people talking about gnucash 
automaticly opening the last books used.

OK, our desktop is slowly dying so I have been preparing to migrate to 
another machine. Good time to update all the application the software, yes.

Well I just got a nasty surprise. Gnucash wants to (always) open the 
last set of books that were open, automatic, no choice in the matter. 
That's fine for most gnucash users keeping one set of books for 
themselves or one business entity. But I'm acting as treasurer for a 
number of organizations in addition to my own books. So for me this is 
very unfortunate behavior as I am rather unlikely to be next time 
opening the books I last had open.

1) Is there a way to turn off this behavior and let me instead select 
from my list of folders? (added to the menu). If I have last been 
working on a large set of books with many reports, etc. I don't want to 
have to wait for that to load just to close it and open the books that I 
want. The old version of gnucash I had been using didn't do "automaticly 
open the last that was open".

2) Is there a way to delete entries from the "recently opened" list? 
Since I was installing on another machine did some testing. I don't want 
all those copies of old data books listed forever just because I used 
them to test whether the newer version of gnucash could open them.
