As I don’t know what you call it, by in windows this is a desk top icon that you click on to open the program. I am getting use to this. Still need to find some of my items I made up. But looking nice.
Thanks

Obviously you would need to change the data file and backup file locations to suit your system. The file location spec does not need to be enclosed in quotes if there is no "White Space" in the file spec. Note that you cannot simply use "*.gnucash" for the backup file as that would move the main data file as well, so it must be "*.gnucash.*.gnucash".
