Okay, Thanks !I can open and read digikamrc; now I just need to see if I can understand what I am seeing.I won't make any changes until I am certain of the outcome.

	Your user probably has no write access to the folder or maybe digikam isn't closed so it blocks access to the file. I am pretty sure the config you are looking for is digikamrc

Thanks.The first of the list = Notepad said it did not exist; however, Wordpad opened it.The rest of the list = I get a pop-up notice saying that the location does not exist, please check my spelling and try again.

	Notepad if you are on WindowsOr install double commander, navigate to the file and press F4 to edit or F3 to view.

Hi,Sorry to be such a dumbie; however, when I navigate to the first of the four paths you listed, I immediately get a pop-up window that asks me which program I want to open the file with; every program I have is listed (and there are many); what kind of files are these and what opens them ? Or, am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks so much.

	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.
