If you have a 64-bit OS & your FSX is in the default location the Microsoft Games folder will be in the C:\Program Files (x86) directory.

Make sure your Folder Options are set to 'Show Hidden Files & Folders'. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/change-folder-options

You could try this. Right-click on the FSX desktop shortcut & click Properties. (Note that my FSX is not in the default location.)

Click the Open File Location button to open the FSX root directory folder in Windows Explorer.
Once you've located it you can create a Desktop shortcut to it for future convenience.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X should be listed in the results. Click on it to open the folder.

I don't know if it will have the same name in the Italian version.
