    If memory serves it should be in Windows\System32. You'll need to set Folder Options to show "Protected operating system files" before you can see it.

    Thank you Nick and Train. Had seen it once before, but I had forgotten where it was located.

    A ".bak" file is simply a backup file, in case something happens to the original.

    You can copy "wpa.dbl" to "wpa.bak" if you like.
