 I'm guessing William's problem is that he doesn't know
how to find, using the command line, a file located on
the desktop.

1) Don't keep source files on the desktop.
2) If you must ignore 1, right click on your source file.
   Click on "Properties"
   Click on the "General" tab.  The "Location:" field should
     give you the file spec.
   On my machine, "g++ C:\WINNT\Profiles\drobinow.000\Desktop\foo.cc"
