file downloaded: ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso running windows 7

Download will show in firefox downloads window but not in download folder (where its filed away all my other downloads)

Tried finding the .iso through my Universal USB installer program as well as doing a search through my entire computers files. I do have all file types and hidden files showing in my options.

I don't know if this is a user error and its just late and im having a blonde moment or what but any direction would be helpful.

Right-click that download in the Downloads window and select Open Containing Folder.
Just in case you inadvertently downloaded to the "wrong" folder. I've done that a time or two late at night.
