I promise not to look
I can do this too so gives you an alternative option
I use axcrypt and its easy and free http://www.axantum.com/axcrypt/0 -
Do you know which folder it's in? If you do, do a search with Windows Explorer, and set the option to include hidden files. With my version of Windoze I have to use the Search Companion to do this.
If you don't know where it is, then start with 'My Documents' and work your way back up the tree until you get back to the C: drive (assuming a 'normal' computer set up).
Alternatively, if you viewed these, they might still be available in your 'recent files' option?
I've found them again
