Sybase:-where to save a new database?

Question

I have downloaded "SQL Anywhere-12" trial version from the Sybase website. I use Windows Vista It installed itself in two locations.The Sybase related folders are in:-

 1)  "C:\Program Files\.."
         -sybase
         -SQL Anywhere 12


 2) "C:\Users\Public\Documents\SQL Anywhere 12\Samples"
         -DBISQL 12.0.1
         -SQL Anywhere 12
         -Sybase Central 6.1.0

Is it how Sybase downloads itself? Or was there any error in downloading?

The reason I ask is I am not sure where to save any "NEW sybase-DATABASE" created?

Can anyone please help?

The stuff in C:\Users is sample databases, example code, scripts, stuff like that. The actual software is installed in C:\Program Files.
