<p>If you're using one Money file to track more than one budget, such as your personal finances and your business accounts, you may want to split the file into two files to keep the data separate and easier to follow. You may also want to split a Money file if you are no longer sharing personal finances with another person.</p>

<li>On your Windows desktop, double-click the <emph>My Documents</emph> icon. By default, your Money file is located in My Documents.</li>
<p variant="note">If you have Windows XP, click <emph>Start</emph> to see My Documents.</p>
<li>Select your Money file.</li>
<li>On the <emph>Edit</emph> menu, click <emph>Copy</emph>.</li>
<li>On the <emph>Edit</emph> menu, click <emph>Paste</emph>.</li>
<li>Right-click the copy of your original Money file, and then click <emph>Rename</emph>.</li>
<li>Type a new name for the file (including the .mny extension), and then press ENTER.</li>
</ol>

</extend>
<p>You now have two identical files saved with different file names.</p>
<li>Open your original Money file.</li>
<li>Delete the accounts you don't want in this file. <alink type="prcdr" href="Deleteanaccount.xml"/></li>
<li>Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other Money file.</li>
</ol>
<p variant="note">If you automatically back up your files, both files will now have the same backup name. To avoid confusion, rename the backup file as well.</p>
