Where is WaterConstants.XML????

I'm old, eyesight is poor and I'm not a PC guru BUT I am trying to install the Shader 3 mod and it tells me to save the original WaterConstants.XML located in the main FSX folder. It is not there! I have a clean FSX with only the Freeware Water Configurator installed. Can some smart fellow tell me where this 'original' WaterConstants.XML is located. (I am making the assumption I should have one since the instructions are telling me to save the 'original file' before I replace the 'Shader folder and the WaterConstants.XML'). This dummy thanks you in advance for any help.
 
Here is the reference instructions. Am I blind? Maybe

Before you even attempt doing ANYTHING, backup your original WaterConstants.XML file and ShadersHLSL folder or rename them.
Doing this steps will allow you to revert to your original files quick and easy.
 
Mine is in the \FsX\ folder, it may be a hidden file by default though so try setting your windows to show all files frst.
 
Ferry_v0 Thanks but I have 'show hidden files' coded

really appreciate the response. hope to get more suggestions.
 
Don't know what OS you are using but under Vista or Wins7 the ShadersHLSL folder is located here:

C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX\Shaders10

The WaterConstants.XML is located in the root folder of FSX.
