Searching for Specific Files/Problem with hiding on login

I've got two questions with which to pick everyone's mind.

First, I'm wondering what the best way is to search (a) user's hard drive(s) for a specific application or file. For example, what if I wanted to find out where a user placed the application "OmniWeb" on his hard drive. And, coming off of that question, how would I identify if the user doesn't have the required app/file? Would I refer to the file by the get info string, the exact size, or what? (Obviously I have no experience in this area, so I'm shooting in the dark.)

Second, what would cause an app to refuse to hide on login, even if the app is in the login items and the hide box is checked? My app currently refuses to hide -- it seems to hide for a second, and then reappears. I assume it's probably partly to do with the fact that I have a preference for the user to choose what window(s) he wants shown on startup, and so I have to manually code the revealing (or non-revealing) of these windows instead of relying on the autosave name. Is there any way I can see if the app is supposed to be hidden and then use that state to tell my program to hide at the end of all the code to show the windows? (Did that make any sense?)

As always, thanks for any help you can give me.
