Please log in for more thread options When you open up Quicken go to File. At the bottom of that screen you will
see the last files opened. Make note of the full path of the file. I would
use windows explorer to move the others to the BACKUP folder where they
belong.
In the future, remember to use the File>>open command to OPEN your files and
File>>Restore to open up a backup file.
