1) Where does Cubase 4/5 store the presets?

Cubase will store the presets on different places depending on your operating system.

Windows XP:

C:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/Application Data/VST3 Presets/PLUGIN_VENDOR/PLUGIN_NAME/

Windows Vista:

C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/VST3 Presets/PLUGIN_VENDOR/PLUGIN_NAME/

USERNAME is the name of your current user account, eg Joe or Horst. PLUGIN_VENDOR is the vendor name of the plugin, eg Waldorf or Steinberg Media Technologies PLUGIN_NAME is the name of the plugin, eg A1 or Magneto. The preset will be stored as PRESET_NAME.vstpreset where PRESET_NAME is the name you entered in the save preset dialog box.

You may have to enable the 'show hidden files' preference in the Windows Explorer folder options to make these folders visible.

As this wasn't confusing enough Steinberg decided to add a VST3 Preset folder under My Documents as well (starting with Cubase 5.5).
