Sound silly, but how do you get to your Admin?

I am trying to figure out how to get to my Zen Cart Admin (where is it and how to I access it?) . I installed Zen Cart on my local machine to fiddle before I go all out. Thanks!

I installed it as localhost/store but nothing comes up; the page is blank. I checked my database and it's full of fun things so I know the template must have installed but I'm lost. I tried reinstalling zen cart with no avail. So now I downloaded another template from the site and am going to use that but need to figure out where Admin is to switch the templates. Thanks!

A default installation places the admin files in a folder named /admin/

To access it on a local machine point your web browser to

http://localhost/admin/

or

http://localhost/STORENAME/admin/ (where STORENAME is the name of the folder that you installed it to)

It's also worth noting that the last page of the Zen Cart installer (zc_install) gave you links to both your storefront and your admin area.

True, but I reckon some people are too excited/keen to move on to the next stage to even think about taking note of such 'trivial' information.

Cynical bugger, aren't I?
