I spoke too soon! That's what it looked like on this old desktop (older 
gnucash version) but with the newer desktop versions I have ready to go 
on the laptops the target is just gnucash.exe  , no intermediate BAT 
file to edit. Hmmmm ----- OK, hopefully somebody here knows how to fix 
this. I have zero experience setting up a script for this environment 
but have for many others so my best guess is:

a) Create a file (using notepad) named nofile.bat. The contents of this 
file would be a line either "RUN GNUCASH.EXE --nofile" or "START 
GNUCASH.EXE --nofile"
b) Create a shortcut to this file. Named something like "gnucash nofile".
c) I assume that file could live in the gnucash.bin directory as should 
cause no harm is nothing (existing) references it. Like where the start 
script is in the older versions.

Is that the correct? Does somebody know whether the command should be 
"run" or "start"?
