On Windows, you could just have a look in c:\program files\postgresql. There are usually some items in the Start Menu also. On Linux, you'll see if it's actually running by doing ps ax | grep postgres or the like... If it's not running, where you'd look for the files varies from one distro to another, but using "find" should throw up some of them.
