<p>If I understand you correctly, you want to display the Welcome
Screen.</p>
<p>To do so, from the Moneydance Menu bar go to Window > Welcome
to Moneydance.</p>

Not exactly although your advice did get me back to the welcome
screen<br>
what I would like to do is remove the name that has come up on top
right<br>
see screen shot. I tried to upload files and seem to have made a
mess of<br>
it. I have many more accounts in drop down lists than I want
and<br>
although I have removed all unwanted accounts there are still in
the<br>
drop down list. It would seem to me easier to go right back to the
start<br>
as if I was installing for the very 1st time.<br>
Regards<br>

<p>You can take the following steps to remove the dataset that you
created when you started, please be aware that these changes cannot
be undone:</p>
<p>Open Moneydance.<br>
Click the <em>Help</em> menu -> <em>Show Documents Folder</em>.
This will open a file navigator window to the storage location of
your Moneydance dataset.<br>
Close Moneydance.<br>
Delete any files within this folder to remove all unwanted
acounts.</p>
<p>Restart Moneydance, and you will be presented with the Welcome
to Moneydance screen. From there you can start again from
scratch.</p>
<p>Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me with any questions
about this process!</p>

<p>I see that David from MD support has already replied. The only
thing that I would add to his reply is to take note of the default
location of Moneydance data files for future reference. It's always
good to know exactly where your data is.</p>

Thank you for your help. I have now got back to a clean sheet and
am<br>
staring again. Taking more care this time:-)</p>
<p>Regards<br>

it's a good idea to keep track of where you're storing your
dataset. The <em>Help</em> -> <em>Show Documents Folder</em>
function will only take you to the <em>default</em> Moneydance
dataset storage folder, so it won't be helpful at all if you've
moved your dataset to another location!</p>
<p>Please feel free to contact us if you run into any more
trouble!</p>

I always allow programs to store files etc where they want to. I am
not computer literate enough to try anything else.</p>
