I have published my first c# Windows application using the clickonce publisher with VS 2005.

I have installed the application on a client machine and it works fine, but for some reason I cannot find the application anywhere on the machine.

This application was installed from a network share. Does the actual program stay on the network drive and a "short cut" created on the client machine? Is this the mainifest file?

Where do these applications get installed? I thought it would have been in Program Files.....

ClickOnce does not install the application on the client. It does save temporary files into odd-named folders under the Documents and Settings directory for the user.

Any application published with ClickOnce is installed into the Application cache folder and per user basis. If you want your application to be installed in Program Files folder then you would need to create a MSI for that and publish that.
