How Do I Find The Url For A File In My C:\Documents And Settings That Is An mp3?

If the file is on your local computer, it is does not have a URL. URL's are only for objects on the Internet. What you want is the "path" to the file.

If you know the name of the file, click on start and select search. Search for the file and it will give you the path when it finds the file. If you are not sure of the name, search for *.mp3 and it will show you all mp3 files.
URL is a nomenclature system used in the Internet

c:\Documents seems to reefer to a location in windows

Settings could reefer to about anything

mp3 is a format

Now just what is your question?

Navigate to the folder that holds the file, and then the url is the folder branch [whatever is in your address/navigate bar] with the file name attached to the end.
Do a search (Start Menu->Search->Files and folders) for *.mp3.

This wont give you a web URL, since your computer most likely is not a web server however. This is just the file location for your file. If you want to share it over the web (illegal btw) you need to upload it to a web server (if any will allow you to, since it is illegal and they can be fined as well as you).
