all I am doing is running patch.exe from cmd.exe and telling it to patch <insert.patch
all files are located in .rockbox folder these files are : newly downloaded daily rockbox build unzipped (never patched before) + latest version of insert.patch file

You can't patch a build. You patch code. Read the working with patches wiki page:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DocsIndex#For_Developers

I read those wiki pages many times..and all instructions on patching BUT I am not a programmer they are not comprehensive to me... I need more instructions:
where is the file with the code ? I need a direct link
where do I put it ?
where do I put a .patch file ?
what programs do I run ?
in what sequence ?
et.etc.etc
I need a most detailed comprehensive example...

Unfortunately the step-by-step is already written down in those wiki pages and it doesn't get much easier than that. It's only a few more button presses to insert it manually - perhaps it would be easier to just get used to that?

Did you even look? For instance:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DevelopmentGuide
Its literally a step by step guide. Either read or don't bother asking questions.

this is really something with you.. :-\ what do you think i ve lost 3 days doing and another day arguing with you !!!! yes I ve looked , yes I ve read !!!! cant you answer a simple question where is the code file ??!!!! and how to patch it ??!!!
and by the way if your "wonderful and comprehensive " instructions were that helpful there would not be hordes of people asking how to patch a file...just look around at the forums, so surely support team lacks connection on this side
