Did you saved the project once manually?

Auto-saved files should be next to the project file.

 

If you don't saved once, search the whole computer for *.aep files and cross fingers, since I'm not sure if AE even starts auto-saving on an unsaved project.

 

You can also open AE and find recent projects in file-menu.
