Have a look in the \DOOMDATA directory.

Not everyone installs everything on C:. And C:\DOOMDATA is not exactly the
most obvious place to look. In fact, I would have at least put it on the
same DRIVE as DOOM (G:, in my case. Such a waste to install it to C!). So
let off a bit!

This isn't such a ingnorant question, since I had the trouble too.  I
installed Doom on my D: drive (like it had asked) and only found out later
that the doomdata directory was on my c: drive....
