Well, it should, of course, be found if it's in the same folder as the
document.  So, you must be doing something else wrong: like misspelling t=
he
filename or adding the extension .sty in the \usepackage command - look
carefully at the error message.

Anyway if you have file called mystyle.sty, the following is the correct
form:

\usepackage{mystyle}

Apart from that Dario and Jay already gave the correct advice.

I might just add that all of this can be done rather easily using the MiK=
TeX
Options Wizard.

Moreover, I have other local texmf trees so that a) I can also wipe out
localtexmf in case of problems without detroying my aded files and b) I c=

keep my own personal stuff separate from other non-MiKTeX stuff downloade=
