Photoshop Workspace file location

I am using Photoshop and I need to know if there is a physical file created when you save a new Workspace.  If so, then in what folder is the file located in and what is it called?  I would like to know so that I can create a backup copy of the file.

Yes, there is a phisical file that is made if you make your own Workspace. I don't know if you use a pc or a mac, but on the mac that file is in:

/Users/"You"/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 Settings/

The Library folder in the users area might be hidden but you can make it visible using "Show View Options".

I own a PC.
I am not much into the pc side but I found this though:

"C:\Users\(your PC user name)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC \Adobe Photoshop CC Settings\WorkSpaces (Modified)"

This points to a folder where WorkSpaces that have been modifile are located. I expect that there would be a folder besides it where your manual WorkSpaces are kept:

"C:\Users\(your PC user name)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC \Adobe Photoshop CC Settings\WorkSpaces"

Just need a PC answer.  I don't use Macs.  I bought a new OS for my Mac years ago and they told me I was getting the full version and I just got the upgrade.  I decided on that day that I was never going to buy another Apple product ever again, but you use what makes you happy.
I DID provide a PC answer as you can see if you compare my post to the one you say you found. Both start with C:\  and are almost identical. The one you accepted was for CS6.

But, never mind. I just wanted to point this out.
