BTW, it's shorter to type %APPDATA%\GnuCash on the location bar near the top of File Explorer, and shorter to type in an email too. :-) > but that hasn't helped. > Obviously there's some extra data/preferences stored elsewhere, > but I can't seem to find the info? > > I'm on GNUCash 5.3 on both PCs, and windows 11 on both. You say "the files located at" %APPDATA%\GnuCash (the short version of the location you gave). Did you also copy the subfolders? The "books" subfolder contains one file per previously opened book, and in that file are the configuration of the Accounts panel (e.g. columns, sorting) and, the tabs that should be opened when the book is opened. I'm pretty sure your choices on File » Preferences are stored there too. Make sure GC is closed when you copy %APPDATA%\GnuCash from your old PC. Since you've already opened GC on your new PC, there will be a file in "books" for it. It's safe to overwrite that file with the one from the old PC, because it does not contain any of your accounting data. So your simplest procedure is: 1. Delete the entire %APPDATA%\GnuCash folder (including subfolders) on the new PC. 2. Copy the entire %APPDATA%\GnuCash folder (including subfolders) from your old PC to your new one.
