The USUAL reason for getting this is that your previous session did not 
terminate normally (so the lock was never removed). If you are sure that 
there isn't (couldn't be) another instance of gnucash running and using 
that file simply choose the "open anyway" option << did you see that 
button in the screen shot you sent us? >>

The reason that gnucash has the file lock is that there COULD be another 
instance << remember, your operating system almost certainly allows 
multiple sessions logged in at the same time and probably has provision 
for files being in shared data space >>
