Trouble Locating After Effects Folder

I'm currently using Windows 7 (64 bit) and After Effects (AE) CS6.  I installed AE using the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium.  I can not locate my AE folder anywheres.  I have every other Adobe folder other than this one.  I'm trying to install presets I've purchased from a third party.  Can anyone help me?

I didn't have After Effects folder anywheres on my computer.  I had access to all other Adobe programs folders but AE.  AE was still opening and working properly.  Didn't make any sense.  I uninstalled and reinstalled everything is working now.

Unless you changed anything, it's still in C:\Program Files\Adobe\After Effects CS6 and the respective sub-folders inside...

I haven't changed anything it's just not there.  Might try to uninstall and reinstall it.

Can you open After Effects?  Or are you unable to open or locate After Effects?

I also had PS (Photoshop), PR (Premier), AE (After Effects), and AU (Audition) pinned to my taskbar in that order.  I don't know if this had any effect on what happened with the missing folder, but I want you to have as much information as possible to help patch whatever occured.  Thanks for the quality products Adobe!
