Haven't you heard. Problem solved.

Get a sense of humor.
I have one, it just seems yours is much more primitive.
BTW, newbies can take your joke for real and actually mail you their wallet for you to help. I don't think anyone would be able to withstand the temptation.

You can export the private key for one address (you can export as many private keys as you have addresses) and store somewhere safe that's for sure. Google it if you don't know how.

What can I do with the file?
It's your private key, guard it with your life if you put any appreciable amount of money "into" it. If anybody else gets access to that file at any time, they can steal your BTC at any time. Meaning I could copy your wallet.dat now, wait for you to gather a shitton of BTC, and steal everything a year later.

I found my wallet.dat using your method, Joker007.

I copied it and saved it to a flash drive.

I converted it to a text file and looked at it.

It wasn't much to look at.

What can I do with the file?

If you are using a Mac computer:

1. Click on the "finder" icon.
2. Press keys 'Command' + 'Shift' + 'G' at the same time.
3. A box should appear.  Type ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin
4  Navigate to the bottom to find 'wallet.dat'

On windows: %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\ (just paste that into explorer's address bar)
On linux: ~/.bitcoin/
Also system-wide bitcoind installations in some distros put it in /var/lib/bitcoin/
