[GNC] Well now I've gone and done it!

[Mark at Lorimark]

Phyllis, fret not.  If you installed the program, we can find it.

The icon on your desktop is broken, but we can fix it.

You need to get gnucash running.  The best way is to find it in the main 
windows Start menu.  It should be in there some where.  Get it running, 
then use the 'open file' part to find your file.

Give me a call and I'll talk you through it on the phone.
