Frustration mounting...a little help please

I have recently downloaded system updates that were recommended for my X61T using the Thinkvantage Update My System program. I have read the instructions for updating the drivers that were needed, but I cannot find WHERE on my computer these updates are being downloaded to!! I am supposed to go to the actual driver, open it, install it, and than after all of that run, go to Run>Setup for these updates. This includes the KeyCustm utility that I was prompted to remove and the Multitouch updated driver. Can someone PLEASE tell me where these would be located or how to find them?

I am NOT using Vista but Window XP for Tablet. I need to know where these would be downloaded to so I can extract them, but there was never a path name specified during the updating process!! FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I use system update there is no location specified. I simply let system update download the files and then when it prompts me to install the downloaded files I click next.

Yes, as do I. But to get those programs to function, my understanding is that you have to extract them from where they were downloaded to! For instance, I did an update for the Multitouch Drivers, but I cannot find that update anywhere even though it says it was downloaded!

I also no longer see the Keyboard Custom Utility under my programs as the newer version removes the older. I do not know where this has been downloaded to after searching EVERYWHERE for it.

The updates are downloaded to the following path:
[drive:]\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\session\[update_name]
where [drive:] is your Windows drive letter (e.g., C:) and a [update_name] is the folder created with the same name as the name of the file being downloaded, less the ".exe" extension, into which the expanded files will reside.
