MT4 profiles aren't saved as a files, they are saved as folders.
Eg you created sp123 profile, look for the sp123 folder inside the profile folder

mmm.... strange, did you know that the entire folder is the saved profile? or you saved as a template, they are two different things

You need to look at the www.metaquotes.net link I sent to you if you want to learn more about mt4.

Let me guess, you're using MS Vista, right? Well here is the deal, Vista keeps a separate, somewhat hidden Program Files folder for each user. If you use windows explorer you can copy,etc. into the real Program Files folders with proper admin priviledges but if you save something from within an app such as MT4, it puts it in a different location.

You will find your files at harddrive/users/yourusername/appdata/local/virtualstore/program files/brokername/profiles etc.

Piece of cake!
