You will find them in the 'Documents & Settings' in the Losdows* X:(C:) or (D:...) partion or drive folder where it was installed. It's fun clickin on My computer just to see what happens.
Warning: Losdows has an install problem that leaves & disables, but does not delete earlier files while setting up a fresh & clean doc folder or 2 instead of searching for & reading old ones to report & ask questions about when reinstalling.(Bad programming design). Need to manually arrange 'm by putting 'm into your abled folder or deleting(carefully - may stop Losdows booting if new folder is tampered with badly) the ones made at earlier dates!
I hope that brings a smille to your dial!!

Open up Windows Explorer and go into C:. Once you're in, the folder "Documents and Settings" should be there. A word of advice though: a lot of programs install their necessary files into folders inside Documents and Settings, so don't delete files unless you know what you're doing.

If you delete Documents and Settings, there's a good chance your machine will not boot up again.
Don't do dat!

Click "my computer" - Click on your main drive (usually C) - it is about the 2nd or third folder. I would not reccomend deleting this file.
