I would guess you will find them in C:\ProgramData (hidden) in a folder that matches your c:\Program Files (x86) folder name.

I was thinking about this a bit more.

The files could be in the VirtualStore, c:\users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\...

The program data path I mentioned earlier can be determined via the environment variable %ProgramData%.

There are a couple other possibilities; %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA%.

If it's not in one of those places I'm out of ideas.

Depending on its configuration, Windows 7+ can play hide and seek with files created by your app if app is installed in Program Files (either x86 or the other). A way around this is to install your app in c:\users\public\MyAppDir (whatever your app dir name is). Then files created by app will be in your app dir, as expected.

You can always do the blunt instrument approach, open a command prompt, change to the root of the c: drive and run "dir <yourfilename>.dbf /s"
