you mean your computer/hd folder?
if yes, have you install exifer for windows?

nikon view nor cumulus don't keep exif information in JPEG files created by digital cameras. you will need to install exif image viewer or exif infotip.

If i'm not wrong, they are part of the Jpeg file. They are stored within the jpeg file. No sperate files are created to store the info. And please note that opening these jpeg files in an editing software and then resaving may cause lost of the exif info.

true. but the above s/w allows you to save and restore exif settings, so as long as you've got one file with exif you should be good to go.
