I still don't know why windows wouldn't find it but the search tool called "Everything" found it right away!
I may have a idea of why it didn't put it in /Users/ - I have my "Documents" library set to C:/CIOZ Files/ (a custom location) and that is where "Everything" found the .minion - so this must have played a part as to why it didn't put it in my username directory in /Users/ - not sure.
So, here are my files.
P.S. I noticed my email was located in the .xml so I removed it and re-uploaded it with that part edited out.
