[GNC] I need to recover my files for the 4.7 upgrade

[Geert Janssens]

To retrigger the settings migration (and hence recover all your settings) you  
could also try to reset a key in the Windows registry.

The path is
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GSettings\org\gnucash\GnuCash\general
And the key is prefs-version
Set this key to any number less than 4007 (0 is a good option).

Regards,

Geert
