In a 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle, the fuses for the power windows are located in the fuse box, which is typically found under the dashboard on the driver's side. You may need to remove a cover to access the fuses. Refer to the owner's manual for the exact fuse designation and location, as it provides a diagram for easy identification.
