I can't find the files I stored on a Nexxtech flash drive. Windows explorer doesn't show any files on the removable disk, but it shows that 2 GBs of file storage is used. I checked the drive for problems and it didn't report any. How can I retrieve my files?

A flashdrive shows up in Windows as a new drive letter un Windows Explorer. If you right click on My Computer (XP), Computer (Windows 7) you can select explore or open. The dialog box that opens is split in half. the left side shows the "drives" and corresponding letters. Typically, you will have a Local C:\ for your Primary hard drive, CD Drive D:\ for a CD/DVD and the flash drive will show as Removable Drive E:. To copy work to the new flash drive, you can select save as from your program and select the drive letter that you saw the removable drive named in Windows explorer.
You can also, from the folder named My Documents, copy the file by right clicking on it, then selecting the flash drive letter and pasting into the empty window associated with it on the right side of the divided Windows Explorer screen.
(WARNING: After running this low level format tool, the whole USB flash disk surface will be fully erased. Therefore, data restoration will be impossible after using this utility!)
It doesn't matter to which USB port you connect the flash stick. It should appear as an additional disk in My Computer, with a total capacity close to the rated one. To identify which drive letter is it, observe the open My Computer window and plug (or unplug) the stick - it will be the drive that appears (or disappears respectively) from the screen.
How to use it? I prefer not to use any special backup software, which I find not very intuitive. I just make folders that make sense for me, and copy the files (that I want to back up or transfer to some other location) to these folders.
What type of files are they?
