It's in your steam apps directory, because you have it installed via steam. Direct it to the .exe that runs FA in your steam directory.

Your folder will be named "Supreme Commander Forged Alliance". If it's not there, you don't have FA installed on Steam, and that's a fact.

Try to copy supremecommander.exe and rename that copy "forgedalliance.exe".

Nope, FAF only supports Forged Alliance. You only need Supreme Commander if you want to use the map editor. :)
