<p>I have searched this forum and the internet for information on the location of the private keys of my wallet on my PC and found no answers.</p>

<p>I am using Microsoft Windows 7 and installed the Bitcoin software from <a href="http://bitcoin.org/en/download" rel="nofollow">http://bitcoin.org/en/download</a> (At the moment it is version 0.8.2)</p>

<p>The default installation path is C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin</p>

<p>Where are the private keys?</p>

I have searched this forum and the internet for information on the location of the private keys of my wallet on my PC and found no answers.

I am using Microsoft Windows 7 and installed the Bitcoin software from <http://bitcoin.org/en/download> (At the moment it is version 0.8.2)

The default installation path is C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

In the default installation Bitcoin folder/directory, I can only see the following:

```

chainstate sub-directory
.lock
db.log
debug.log
peers.dat
wallet.dat

```

Where are the private keys?
