I will have all four books (data files) I have created open at once,
neatly placed on a desktop. I think I'm reading that this isn't
possible in Windows.
I also have 5 Gnucash menu items - the one the distro puts in, and the
four that open my books directly.

I do have the household and my personal finances in a single book.
There are no legal reasons to separate them. The other businesses and
trusts have their own files as they all do separate taxes.
