Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think there is such a thing as a
default account.
Maybe someone else knows.
Can you clarify what you mean?

I think that the default account is the last opened one.
Nevertheless, the desktop shortcut to open Quicken can also be set to point
at the qdf file of your desired dataset. I.e.:
"C:Documents and SettingsmemyselfMy DocumentsMyData.QDF"

Thusly, you can have multiple shortcuts to separate data sets.

That opens a file, not a specific account. I realize you know that already.
Just wanted to make sure the OP isn't confused by this advice.

...if what you want to do is have Quicken always open to the same account.

In Q 2006 Basic go to the "Edit" dropdown menu. Pick "Preferences" and
inside that pick "Quicken program."
When you get to that screen choose "Startup preferences. In the middle of
that screen you'll see "On startup open to:" which leads to a dropdown box
that lists all of your accounts. That should do what you want to do.
I don't know how much the process differs in other versions.
