start>type in the filename and enter. this will bring up a new window. advance>check "include non-indexed, hidden files and system files" and go. they were under the users directory THEN the path i made it dl into.
got a problem with vista. it's good, no complaints except too many questions (especially when i made several folders) and a bit torrent problem. when i try to download stuff (for example games like Conquer uses torrents) like for the first time it puts the files in the folder like it's supposed to. after i get a few down, they disappear from the folder.
i can't find them anywhere but thyre definitley taking up space and downloading to some location. i have a feeling that they are put on hidden, but i can't figure out how to show hidden files. i got utorrent, which with that i can't get to them individually from the program (was using ABC but changed to utorrent instead cuz i thought it would fix it with a new directory). this is kinda irritating me that i can't get what i need.
this is a compaq vista 1 gig memory with a pentium 4 processor. just bought it a few days ago.
