Hello, Walker Mgmt llc.
I'll help you locate your QuickBooks Desktop files in your PC.
They are likely moved from another location. In this case, you'll want to do a wildcard search using the Window search function.
Simply click the Windows Start menu, then search for the following extension file types (type only the asterisk and the file extension):
- *.qbw (Working Files)
- *.qbb (Back Up Files)
- *.qba (Accountants Copy Files)
- *.qbx (Accountants Transfer Files)
- *.qby (Accountants Change Files)

There are other ways to find your files, too. You can check the steps from this article: Company file is missing or cannot be found.
After locating the files, you can double-click on one to open it. Note: Take note of the location of your files in case you want to find them again.
