Information on which accounts (and reports) to show when opening the
program is stored in another file. See this bit of the FAQ for details,
because these can also be copied to your second PC

However, if you open the main Account window, you can find your cheque
account. You may have stored it under Assets or Current Assets.
Then when you leave the account open the new preferences file on the
second PC will record that diligently, and will open the desired account
for you next time.
