Hi, Loonie.
The most effective tool to find any file anywhere on your HDD is the
current version of the old DOS command Dir (from before Directories
became Folders). Open a Command Prompt window and then, at the C:>
prompt, type:
Dir isobuster*.* /s/a
Then just wait. On a big drive with lots of files, this may take some
time.
Thanks RCW. It ran for me as you suggested and it took only a few
minutes. The complete list is below.
To see what the Dir command does, just type the command, followed
by /? for a mini-Help screen showing the parameters and switches
available. The Dir command itself simply lists all the files in the
current directory, or those that match the isobuster*.* included in the
command line. The /s switch lists matching files in subdirectories
under the current directory. The /a switch lists ALL files, including
those with System, Hidden, or other Attributes. In other words, if
there is ANY file ANYWHERE on your Drive C: that matches isobuster*.*,
it will be listed.
To search another drive, either CD (Change Directory) to it (cd E:\, for
example) or include it in the command line:
Dir E:\isobuster*.*
I downloaded isobuster_eng.zip way back in 2006. I've used it only a
few times, but it worked fine for me. I haven't needed to uninstall it,
partly because I've reinstalled Windows a few times since then and
didn't re-install isobuster, so I don't know about any uninstall problems.

Unfortunately, there is no "smart projects" in my computer. I use Win 7
Home Premium. I tried to search using "smart projects" and it came up
with nothing. I removes the commas and it came up with about 40 lines
and nothing useful for me.
Thank you RCW for your suggestions. I had a response and now all I need
is a brain to interpret the results:
