>>The *hitch* is that Application Data is a hidden folder, so in XP you need to show your hidden folders to see it...do this: Thanks...now there's a one for me. The FIRST thing I always do in a new OS is turn on my hidden folder and file extensions. So I never notice which files/folders are hidden. I know I SHOULD pay attention to the fact that they are lighter than the rest...but do I.

In there, click on the View Tab and put a check where it says "Show hidden files and folders" and UNCHECK "Hide extensions for known file types" and "Hide protected operating system files". Now, when you search for it, you should find it.

I have c:\Documents and Settings\User Name (mine) and then other folders, none which appear to contain anything about templates. Suggestions?
