Under Linux, gnucash's "recent file memory" is in ~/.gnucash/books/. Maybe if

rm ~/.gnucash/books/*
chmod -w ~/.gnucash/books

Yes, it seems a bit drastic though! :-)

It's actually /home/chris/.local/share/gnucash/books (or, strictly,
some system variable specifies the directory I believe).
Probably depends on the version.  I'm still using 2.6.19-1 on my Ubuntu 18.04
system.

Even opening GnuCash from a menu or icon (rather than the command
line) I'd really prefer that it didn't default to the last set of
accounts opened.
Yeah, that is unfortunate.  And really unfriendly.


I happen to really like that it opens the last set of books.  Yes, I have three (3) separate sets of books with each in a different folder (directory).

And having the list of recent opened files makes it really handy to switch between the three sets as desired.
