Where does this entry come from?

When I do a reconcile on a credit card, I get to the point where it asks if I want to do a handwritten or automatic transfer to pay the balance, so I pick handwritten. An entry is recorded that uses an account I've not used for 20 years. How do I change this auto entry to not use that account and to use my bank account?

You might have inadvertently clicked "Don't show me this again" in the Make Credit Card Payment dialog. So it goes straight to whatever it thinks the last account was.

You will need to go to Edit > Preferences > Alerts & Messages and click Reset Quicken Warnings. This will reset all those "don't show me again" choices, hopefully including this one.
