Thanks to Coding Dave.  I chose to make AppData visible because there are other items there that I back up regularly, like Firefox and Thunderbird profiles.  In any case, it's a good thing to have alternatives.  Thanks again.

    Thanks for the input.  I have found it there.

    It's best to go into File Explorer as Mick suggested, click on
    Show hidden files, folders, and drives, then find
    C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData.  Right-click on AppData, go to
    Properties, then on the General tab, click on Hidden to clear it. 
    Then go back to File Explorer Options and click on Don't show
    hidden files, folders, or drives. Close out of File Explorer
    Options, and you're ready to go.

    Thanks again for the input!

    presume that's it
    C:\Users\mick\AppData\Local\darktable

    need [x] Hidden items in the file explorer view tab to see it

    had to
    completely reconstruct one of my computers due to a really

    crappy push release from Microsoft that destroyed my hard
    drive.  Is there
    a way to back up one's presets and overall configuration of
    darktable to
    speed a rebuild in case of another disastrous release from the
    Borg?
