There is a file in a folder with this path name.

"C:\Documents and Settings\your full name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Gas Powered Games\SupremeCommander\savegames\mygamer
\experimental.SupremeCommanderSaveGame"

Starting from the root C, I do a search for either of these.

experimental
experimental*

And get zero results.

How come that file "experimental.SupremeCommanderSaveGame" doesn't
show up? Because it doesn't have an ordinary extension? Anyway, how
can I search for and find a file like that?

Local Settings and Application Data are hidden folders. But even when
Windows Explorer is set up so that all files are exposed, I still
can't find anything in those folders.

I will try unchecking the Hidden attributes.
