1) Probably via the HKCR/Typelib Windows registry key

2) Type libraries are stored as a Windows resource and can be found in 
more than just .tlb files, e.g. in some .exe, .dll, .rll files. 
There may be orphaned type library entries in the registry as an 
application might not remove its type library entry/entries when it is 
uninstalled.
