  That's the problem. Assuming that the file was saved (you did some 
sort of save before closing the program) the problem is that you don't 
know the name of the file or where (what directory -- aka "file folder")

But PROBABLY your operating system includes a "find" tool, and probably 
that has options not just to search for by partial name (for example, 
ending with the extension .gnucash) but things like "changed yesterday".

If you didn't do ANY save ......... (But please note that this would not 
be a gnucash specific problem. For example, if you created a document 
with your word processor but NEVER saved it, would you expect it to be 
there?)
