[Dx4win] What would be the correct procedure?

[Kostas SV1DPI]

I would suggest to use an external software to search your computer. 
Windows search does not search every folder. The software I use is 
called "everything". It's free and you can find it here 
https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/

Install it and search for *.dxl files
