Hi,

In 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Where_can_I_find_the_gtk_resource_file.
3F

GnuCash 3.0 and newer


Microsoft Windows
The GnuCash configuration directory is FOLDERID_RoamingAppData\GnuCash
(FOLDERID_RoamingAppData was called CSIDL_APPDATA on Microsoft Windows XP®),
by default on Windows Vista and later C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming. Gtk
puts its configuration directory at FOLDERID_LocalAppData\gtk-3.0.

What is this FOLDERID_RoamingAppData?

In Windows 10, environment variable
APPDATA=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming
There is NO FOLDERID_RoamingAppData.

I think this page should be updated to say for Windows 10: %APPDATA%\GnuCash

I don't know about Windows 7 or 8. Can some users of those please let me
know and I will update the wiki.

cluding_preferences.3F

Gnucash 3.0 and newer


1. Windows
 %CSIDL_APPDATA%/Gnucash

I think maybe should be:
%APPDATA%\Gnucash		NOTE backward slash
as GnuCash 3 no longer supports Windows XP or Vista.
