Go into Windows Explorer>select Tools>
Folder Options>View>click on Show hidden files and folders and
Uncheck Hide protected operating system files

You can find it easier thru Windows Explorer.

Its not in the hidden folders either. Its weird, too, because programs that
require a system 32 document/file start up fine. Please someone help me!

Is your Windows folder named \WINNT or \Windows ? and you used Windows Explorer to drill down below that folder?
and the sub-folder is named System32 (without any space).
