wow so I wasted my time doing that. The hidden files are usually under Windows folder. Those are hidden on purpose usually. If you DL'ed something from BS then just track the folder in which you save everything to using BS.

You could try the good ol' search button on start up menu if you know the file name

yea, but where is the hidden folders file at? ive gotten that far

There is no specific "hidden folders" file. Any folder can be marked "hidden" anywhere on your hard drive. You'll have to search for it. WindowsKey + F. Make sure "search hidden files & folders" are selected under the advanced options.

Be serious here...I'm not gonna hate on you for not knowing basics of Windows, but you can't cop out on a simple task like this!

i cant find the file, i opened up hidden files and went to bearshare, and it wasnt there. i couldnt send the file to the recycle bin because it said it was in use/ write protected
