A hidden file?  Try using the file manager instead of the explorer, and in the
file manager Veiw/By_File_Type, check the "show hidden/system files"  It should
be in your Windows/desktop directory right?  You should be able to see it with
winfile, hit alt-enter to change it's file attributes, and dump the file.

Dos usually is hard to find hidden files with unless you know the specific file
name and where it is, if you do, the old "attrib -h filename" should make it
show up (if I remember that right.)
