HTH, Maybe making this a bit clearer (as to what is going on) The "desktop" IS a folder. But it is a special folder whose contents are always being displayed on the main window as icons (you can ask OTHER folders to be displayed to you as icons within their windows). What Maf. King is telling you is to use some OTHER folder for your gnucash file to reside in. The program will use that same folder as the place to put the log file and backup.

Is there anyway to change the settings so this stops? You can edit the number of saves that are stored to less than 1 day, but wouldn't it be better to save to a folder on your desktop instead? That way your workspace is uncluttered but you still have plenty of backup in case of stuff-ups.
