The preference was added by Christian back in the 2.6 days. I'm not sure of the end goal of this feature but I believe it was indeed mostly meant to persistently add a few convenience buttons on the tool bar. I'm sure it doesn't manage the availability of the AR/AP accounts and it equally won't

I just played with toggling that preference back and forth and as I do so, the ’New Invoice’ button appears and disappears accordingly. It seems this is the only button affected unless there is a special toolbar somewhere I’m not triggering. (when viewing a bill/invoice there are 2 ’New Invoice’

Thanks David, I was looking for that the other day and somehow glanced over it. Indeed, it is still there in 3.4. (about to install 3.5 shortly) I suppose, then, since preferences are user rather than book based that’s why the buttons were already there. I didn’t try to start GC from a fresh us
