A little note. When you use the find command it will not examine files and folders you don't have permission to play with. To get around that use "sudo find / -name <filename> -ls"
The "-ls" after the file name will give you a listing for the found file(s) the same as if you used "ls -dils" in a terminal with the file in it and shows you much more information including the full path to the file.

Find is a very useful and powerful command if you get right into it. "man find" will keep most people busy reading about it. Learning it fully will take much longer.

Good point. Changed it.
