Now there are no .gconf or .gnucash created, and when I copy those files to my directory from Linux they are ignored. gnucash/Windows 7 now looks in a different place!  By the way, I'm using version 2.4.11.

It can and has been used successfully by several people, though not 
strictly related to the issue discussed in this thread.

There is a bugreport asking to move the .gnucash data directory on 
Windows to another location [1]. One workaround reported in the bug is 
to set the HOME parameter in the environment file, for example, add this 
to the environment file:

HOME={APPDATA}/GnuCash

APPDATA is a special parameter on Windows pointing to the user's profile 
somewhere. Read the bugreport for more details.

Note that the exact setting in the example above may not be useful for 
the current issue. Perhaps another path has to be set if APPDATA itself 
already points to a path that is not compatible with gconf.
