Progress:  I did as you suggest, and the klauncher stuff is gone.

Settings>Configure digiKam>Removable Media>
The dialog open up, and a file tree is displayed.  But it's root is
c:\, and I can't figure out how to find my external USB drive.
Windows has assigned it a drive letter (H:) which I can see in Windows
Explorer.

Changing the "tab" selection on the left:
"Home" and "Root" both show a tree rooted at c:\
"Network" and "Trash" are blank

(I continue to feel that I'm missing something obvious.  If so, I apologize.)

Thanks for your help,
