Two instances?

[Kevin Wilson]

  I have my windows desktop icons set up to run a specific gnucash file: 
three of them, one for each of my 2 businesses, and one personal.

I just have the icon set to run the .gnucash data file - Windows knows 
which application to use to load the file.  Easiest way to create it (in 
Win 7, anyway) is to find the data file in Windows Explorer, right 
click, choose "Send To" then "Desktop (create shortcut).

I sometimes have all three open at once. However, I believe there are 
issues with preferences for the last one closed, overwriting preference 
changes made in the others. It's never caused me any trouble.
