It will usually be under your username in Docs and Settings rather than 
Administrator.  Follow the various names thru to My documents---there may 
be multiple copies of this folder under the various Usernames, depending on 
how you originally installed XP.  This is one of the more puzzling aspects 
of XP.

Otherwise, press the winkey + f to bring up the XP Find box, and search for 
My Music under Files and Folders.
Or you could try searching for *.mp3 (or whatever format most of your music 
files are) which will lead you to the location of all music files of that 
type. The * symbol means "search for all files with this extension".
