Have you tried using Windows Search to look for it? When you find it,
right-click on the file and choose "Open Containing Folder." Make sure you
get the right one. In addition to the ~$Normal.dot "owner" file (if you have
Word open), you may get quite a few shortcuts. Make sure you choose the one
that's not identified as a Shortcut (if you have file types displayed) or
that doesn't have the shortcut arrow icon.
