I use a desktop search engine called 'Everything' from Voidtools. It searches your desktop super quick & should help you. It is an essential PC tool to have.

Check here:

 

Location:

Vista / Win 7
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.cfg

 

XP:
C:\documents and settings\Username\application data\ Microsoft\FSX\FSX.cfg

Yes, it doesn't make any difference where you install FSX, it will always be in your hidden User file as shown by Dave above.

Don't know if this will apply to your system, but go to Control Panel/Folder Options/View and make sure

 

you have "show Hidden Files and Folders" and make sure that Hide Extensions for Known File

 

Types is unchecked.

No.  It goes by FSX.cfg.  There might be a FSX.txt in the folder if you had a crash recently or FSX shutdown abnormally.  The user folder will be located on the same drive as you installed Windows.

Hi jet,

You've probably located FSX.cfg by now but there's a program called FlusiFix06 that does a lot of handy things.  When the program is started there's a tab that says "CFG-Editor" and by clicking it all of the cfg files are shown beneath it.  Clicking on any of these shows the complete path to the file in a box in the lower right of the screen  along with the contents in the upper right.  Very handy.  Google should locate it easily.

Not tried that 'everything' program yet? Run it & type in FSX.exe. It will find it in seconds. Far quicker than it has taken me time to type this.

I've tried Dave , Charlies and FS Hobbys advice and nothing yet. I even went into the C Drive. I did notice a lot of FSX things in the C Drive. Can I safely delete those items ? I know the FSX config. is in there somewhere.
