I'm moving to a new machine, and want to take my XLB file with me (for Excel
2000). I've modified the toolbar lots of times, so the file has to be here,
but a full search of the hard disk turns up nothing. This machine's running
XP Pro, if that offers any clues.

include the command to look for hidden files.

It was already set that way. I ended up finding it using the DOS command
Dave suggested. What's interesting is that once I found it, I tried
searching for it again in Explorer. Again, not found. The file was NOT
hidden.

Maybe the folder is hidden?

When I click on Windows|start button|search, I can choose the advanced Options
and see a few more options.

This is what I have clicked (and I find my *.xlb files under winXP Home and
xl2003):

Search system folders
search hidden files and folders
search subfolders

Or you could use an old DOS command:

Windows start button|Run
cmd (windows 2k/xp)
command (windows 98)

At the DOS prompt:
C: (to get to the C: drive)
cd\ (to get to the root directory)

dir *.xlb /s

the /s means to search through subdirectories.
