Install iTunes
Double-click My Computer, then C:. From the menu bar click Tools, then Folder Options. From the View tab, check Show hidden files and folders. Now click through to this C: > Documents and Settings > your username > Local Settings (the address bar will show this: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings).
