Ok Anita,

I'm sure jpg files are perfectly possible to be sent via the list.  99% sure 
that I've seen them.  maybe convert to png as another option?

if you can't get images through, you're going to have to be a lot more specific 
about what you do and what you can see.

Where *exactly* do you see this superposition of the LNK file?  What do you 
click before you see it?  what happens when you start gnucash - does the "File 
is locked" message still come up?

MF.
