documents and settings

How do I get into C:\documents and settings\my name here\ local? I downloaded a picture from msn messenger. Now I can't find it.

Navigate in Windows Explorer to the directory:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/Windows Explorer
Click on the small + signs to open the directories
Documents & Settings/<your name>/local settings/etc
When you find your picture, just double click it and your PC will open it.

I have been through every plus sign there is, it is not there. Neither is some more files that I have downloaded.

You can use Windows Explorer to access your personal folders or the Shared
Documents, Music, and Pictures folders. To open Windows Explorer, click
Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows
Explorer.

Open Windows Explorer.
Click Tools | Folder Options.
Click View.
Click the radio button to Show hidden files and folders.

My downloaded pictures and files from messenger go into "My received files"
folder in My Documents.
