You're 100% correct, Adrien. I'm on Windows and do this regularly.

It's also possible in Windows to "pin " a data file to the start menu,
so that you don't even have to navigate to it to double-click it. That
is what I do, because I have three data files (2001-2010, 2010-2017,
2018-present).

However, if the OP has only one data file, there's no reason to pin it.
He can just close GC, move the data file as you suggested, then
double-click it. GC remembers the most-recently-used file in its new
location, so next time he opens GC it will automatically open the file
for him.
