Associating Collections to New Internal HDD ???

[Andrew Goodbody]

No, dll files are 'Dynamic Link Libraries' and contain executable code 
that is needed to make programs run.

The digikam configuration files are supposed to be

~/Local Settings/digikamrc
~/Local Settings/digikam_tagsmanagerrc
~/Local Settings/kipipluginsrc
~/Local Settings/kipirc
~/Local Settings/showfotorc
~/Local Settings/digikam/*

Where the ~ stands for C:\Users\<username> and you need to use \ instead 
of / everywhere in that list.
