[GNC] Auto Save Ledger

[Maf. King]

Hi Lesley,

Save your account data file into a folder - don't work directly from the 
desktop. (File menu -> Save As while GC is running is probably the best way to 
do this)

GC creates its own backup files each time you save (if using the default & 
recommended XML file format) and puts it in the same folder as the main data 
file - hence if the data lives on the desktop, that is where GC will put the 
backups.

HTH,
Maf.
