[digiKam-users] How to restore default settings on Windows?

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

RC files under Windows are stored in a hidden folder from your home
directory :

~/AppData/Roaming/.kde/share/apps/...

It's a standard place defined by Microsoft to store application settings.
And there are more, look this url for details:

... and finally thanks Microsoft for this puzzle...

Best
