If you installed it with ARC then check under Program Files/Perfect World Entertainment as that is where ARC installs all of it's games.

Start up windows explorer and do a search for gameclient.exe

That should point you to the Star Trek Online Live folder (one of them anyway, Neverwinter, Champions Online also use that file name and the various servers thereof all have their own version of gameclient.exe)

I should point out that those are character costumes only, not the characters themselves.

All of your actual characters are stored on the server, not on your computer. As bberge points out, what ends up in your screenshots folder is just a costume that is saved off, and can be loaded later. That is not the full character.

You can use that tool to make one of your saved characters ("costume") load on another species or faction in the tailor.

The "costume" in this case isn't only what you wear, but how your character looks and what parts that are being used to make them look the way they do.

The tool you linked to is not what I would consider an illegal hack. What's saved in the costume are the slider values, e.g. how big your nose is, how far apart your eyes are, as well and what you're wearing. When you load a saved costume in the tailor, it will try to apply these slider values and outfits on the character you just have opened, but it can't do anything you wouldn't be able to do yourself by jolting down the slider states and selecting the outfits from the dropdown menu. The saved costumes are just a faster way of loading all the options without writing everything down and setting them manually.

The loaded costume can only load what's considered accepted/legal for the character you try to open it on. If you for instance load a Romulan character on your Federation Human, you will only have access to Federation clothing (you will lose what your Romulan was wearing), you'll lose your forehead ridges (since humans don't have any), you'll lose your pointy ears and the color of your skin will be the closest available to humans. The same holds true when making a human romulan and you can't make your romulan anymore human using the tool you linked, than you could by yourself in the tailor.
