Hi Shirley (my wife is Shirley Anderson!)

Firstly, if we have to go looking for files, it's important to know what 
platform/distro you are using - Windows, Linux.

When you start KMM, how do you start it?  From an icon, or from command 
line?  Where is/are your data file/s located?

Is this definitely on logging out, rather that starting KMM?  Certainly, 
when you start KMM, if it finds there is already one running, it will 
tell you, and ask what you want to do.

When you open KMM, click on the File menu and then on Open Recent files. 
  That may tell you which .kmy files you've opened recently.

See how you get on with that.  Others may chip in with ideas, too.
