Is there a folder on your computer that holds all the content of your zune in it?

Unless you have specified to save the contents of your zune to your computer, no the contents are not stored on the computer. If at somepoint you stored or copied the contents to your computer and didn't pay attention to where you stored them, the most likely place the computer stored the files (by default) will be in a file called "my documents" and perhaps a sub folder called "my music" If the files are stored to your computer, you would have, at some point, selected an "ok" button to download them to your computer or save them to a file.
