I'm guessing your on a later version if Windows.
c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\xbmc\addons
Most likely the appdata folder is hidden and you need to simply unhide it. You can also access it simply by entering %appdata% in start > run or the address bar of Explorer.

I don't know what is wrong with the windows search...I have the same issues. but I think you'll find the skins you want in C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\AppData\Roaming\xbmc\addons Looks like we need a new search program... and better still the search function doesn't appear to work if you use the library shortcut.
When you get to that location, most of the graphic files have been archived in a special format that makes editing difficult, unless you're using an SV version of skin.
