Exclamation Sherlock for Mac?

I have 2 questions:

1) I have leopard 10.5.6 on my macbook and I downloaded "Secret Folders" from the apple site below. I made the folder and now i can't see it even when i log into it. I have contacted the makers of this software and they are not replying back to me. It's been about a month. Does anyone know how to look for these invisible folders/files? (My free trial ended and it says the folder doesn't exist)

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...etfolders.html

2) I have read about how sherlock can look for invisible files. Is there a "sherlock" or sherlock-like application for leopard 10.5.6?

Spotlight is the current name for Apple's search utility in Mac OS X. (Sherlock was from OS 8.x to 10.3, I guess.) I find "EasyFind" the best tool for such searches. Or if you already know where the folder's supposed to be, you can use the Terminal, if you know your way around the command line.
