Hi Steve, I bet the lock (.LCK) file is getting deleted and explorer's desktop is just not refreshing. After you close Gnucash, select the desktop with a click and hit F5. I bet the lock file icon goes away.
The log file won't, and shouldn't. If you follow everyone's advice and put it in another location (and then open Gnucash and do File|Open and select the new location/file) you won't see it staring at you 😉 Michael On Mon, Jan 3, 2022 at 12:36 PM Glenn Fowler <gfowl...@outlook.com> wrote: > Hi Steve, > > Move your GnuCash files to somewhere else besides the desktop, like a > documents Documents for example and then re-open in this new location.
