Saving Files

[Dave H]

Most of us save our Gnucash file(s) to a sub directory/folder under our
Documents folder so we don't clutter up our desktop :-)  Gnucash creates
log files every time you open it and do transactions with it so just
another reason to keep it off the desktop - you can set whether to retain
log files and for how long - Preferences / General / Retain log/backup
files.

On Windows if you start up Gnucash it'll open your last file automatically
so you must be moving it/deleting it/doing something to it for Gnucash not
to find it !!!

Cheers Dave H.
