Before I saw that you replied I decided in my foolishness to just uninstall the whole wallet and download again in case the problem was with the wallet itself. It's been so long from my original download of this wallet that I forgot how long it takes to synchronize. The wallet indicates it's verifying 460K+ blocks of transaction history! I left it running through the night the last couple of nights and the progress bar shows it still 40 weeks behind out of the total 7 years? Bitcoin history. BTW do you know if this Classic Wallet is actually a bitcoin node that verifies all bitcoin transactions? Have taken your advice and made copies of my wallet backup file and saved to laptop, external hard drive and flash drive. You're right, when I hold the cursor on any of these copies, indicates they're .DAT files (96KB) I've found the wallet itself in my program files where you indicated. I'm not sure exactly how to transfer the DAT file, rename it, and into which subfolder? of the wallet program it should be placed. When this wallet is done synchronizing I'll message again with the names of subfolders, to see if you can provide more help, after I backup the new wallet as well, in case I mess it up trying to transfer my backup into it! If this works I will go to the expense of a hardware wallet or at least split my btc into several different cold storage wallets. Thanks for your help. btc headed your way today for your trouble so far.
