If you improperly close Gnucash it will leave behind a lock file, which
Gnucash takes to mean that Gnucash already running -- Gnucash does not support
multiple concurrent instances using the same datafile and checks for this
case. Improperly closing Gnucash happens when you do something like shutdown
MS-Windows while Gnucash is still running -- DON'T DO THAT. *Always* cleanly
exit Gnucash before logging out / shutting down your computer. (I know
MS-Windows users have been "trained" not to exit applications. And I have
seen applications that lack any sort of "exit" option. Dumb. Really Dumb.)
Generally, you can select "Open Anyway". But it is best to avoid this by
properly exiting Gnucash: File=>Exit.

Hi everyone, I occasionally receive this message, but I can not find its
definition anywhere.
I am the only user on this Win10 platform, and if GC is closed, and does
not appear in TaskManager, isn't it "closed"?
My options are to - Open Read-only; create New file; Open Anyway; Open
Folder.
1) what does the error mean?
2) which option should I select?
3) what happens if I select incorrectly?
Thanks!

Robert;
Just because you do not like windows; please do not insult those of us
that use it. Windows does not train people too do things a certain way,
is is just not that smart. Any user of any operating system that shuts
down the system while program(s) are still running deserves the mess
that they get.
