If you still can't find the file by hunting through "my documents" and the varied folders then just search for any .ged format files on your pc.
Via XP
1.Click the Windows Start button (usually in the bottom left corner of your Windows desktop)
2.Click on Search from the Start menu
3.In the Search dialog box, click All files and folders in the left hand window pane (also known as the Search Companion)
4.In the All or Part of the File Name box, type part or all of the name of the file followed by the .GED extension, or if you do not know the name use an asterisk * as a wildcard (e.g., Genealogy.GED or *.GED)
5.In the Look in box, click the drive or drives, folder, or network location that you want to search
6.Click Search
Vista Users
Basically as above,
1. Click the Windows Start Button (bottom left of screen)
2. Enter the file extension .GED
3. Select the "search everywhere" option
4. Any files found are then listed in the panel
Screenshot version of the Vista search can be found at post #14 on my FTM thread (same procedure for any software programme)

Thanks also to other members with their advice.
TBH Alan it's something i rarely used on my old machine, the low spec i had meant searches would take forever and the pooter was already slow anyway, when i transferred things to the new machine i realised how bad my filing was.
I'm slowly going through everything and devising a uniform system of naming files, folders and sub folders and amending what i already have so it conforms.
It will take a while yet but it will save asking for things that i already have and simply can't find easily.http://www.flickr.com/photos/50125734@N06/
