located. i've tried starting with MY COMPUTER, DOCUMENTS AND
SETTINGS, but not finding it.

It is a hidden folder.
From Explorer,
select Tools->FolderOptions->View->Show Hidden Files & Folders

Then you can find it at:
My Computer->C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings

It's a hidden folder. To access it directly, type this in Start, Run:

%userprofile%\Local Settings
