My Operating systems is Windows Me. I can easily find a file by using the search in Windows Explore. After I find it how do I find it's location. Explore shows the search results and not the path to the file. I found if I delete it I can find it's location in the Recycle bin but there must be an easier way to find it's location.

From your Explorer window select Tools/Folder Options/View(tab)/check (either/or/both)
[]Display the full path in the Title Bar
[]Display the full path in the Address Bar

I am assuming this will work in WinME; Right click the file name and select properties. It should show you the path.

(When I first got a PC I took a Windows class and the instructor continually pushed the "right click" on us and at the time I thought that it made for more clicking but he explained I would get used to it. I right click almost everything because it provides options.)

Again I am assuming since I do not have any experience or access to WinME.
Once in the Find Files box, go to View and select details and it will show the path.

J am not on my WinMe machine, but if you select the search result window, and press ctrl-alt-Plus (the plus sign on the calculator / numeric pad section of the keyboard), this should rearrange the column sizes and bring in the path names, possibly enlarge the window width.
