That's mostly my fault on the 'administrato' vs. 'administator' issue.
But I only kept typing that because Barry reported a file path at one
point with that spelling, and I wasn't certain of a possible different
language in use, so I didn't correct it. If Barry transcribed the file
path instead of copy/pasting it, that would explain the spelling.
As for permissions, I'm not even concerned about root/admin vs. not but
simply one user trying to save into another's file tree. That alone
would most likely return a permissions error message. It seems Barry is
logging in regularly under an account with that name, but GnuCash is
opening a file stored under another user. (at some point that had to be
done manually via File > Open, or since this is Windows, perhaps
navigating to that other user and double-clicking the file - still
manual and intentional)
Why the file is there instead of the regular user account, I don't know.
But I see the solution as moving it to the regular user account, fixing
the file ownership and permission flags, and then proceeding to clean up
the multiple file/backup file apparent mess.
Regards,
Adrien

I also note, and it may be a typo by Barry, but the user often being called
the "Administrator" account by some people on the list has been listed in a
file path by Barry more than once as "administrato"
What I'm saying is that there is no certainty that one account is or is not a
"root" operator with whatever extra rights or not.
