All very strange. I just started up my Windows 7 machine and search for *.txt and specific files that I know are there.
From the start menu try "Search Programs and files" Result = No items match your search ???
From the start menu, select Computer, this should bring up Windows Explorer.
Pick drive and directory in the navigation pane on the left hand side, in my case C:\Mach3. Result is a list of all my files as expected.

I cannot say I ever use the Search Programs and Files except to bring up odd programs such as Debug.exe, I always use Windows explorer (Computer or whatever it is called), and never loose a file.

I hope this is your issue, as I cannot think what else to try, as clearly the files are saving and loading correctly from Ezilathe.
