Games Save folders are in My Documents either by the name of or GAME SAVE or whatever you will get it when you will look
Just place that folder exactly at the same place (surely in My Documents) following same path you copied from

Okay thanks.. I did try doing that, and then launched the game. The saved game was unfortunately not there in the game. I probably did something wrong, but not sure where. Again, pretty new at all of this. Thanks

Windows 7doesn't generally allow per-user configuration information inthe program folder because it doesn't allow unprivileged users to makechanges in the program folder (this helps to prevent your programs from being infected by viruses).Per-user configuration is usually stored in a subfolder under C:\Users\username\Appdata folder. This folder is hidden and you won't be able to see it unless you change the Explorer settings to show hidden folders.

Got it thanks. Once I locate that, what do I need to do with the saved folder so that it will show up as a saved game I can load inside the game? Probably a very basic question, but I have never done this before. Thanks
