It's located in the same folder as your main program *.bas file. Ensure that:

View...Compile and Program Options
"Generate debugger COFF file"

is enabled

I just stumbled into something that seems to correct all the directory problems. I made the shortcut to 'run as administrator' and all the issues cleared up. I do not understand why, but figured I would let you know.

Forgive me if this is off-base...
You're not looking for "project.idf" are you?
If so, try looking in the same folder as your program file. Same name, different extension

I do not see project.'anything' in any folder associated with Swordfish. However, running Swordfish as administrator seems to make Swordfish go to the programdata\mecanique\swordfish\library every time. I just don't understand why.

You will see an *.idf file if you have COFF enabled. For example:

myProgram.bas

will generate

myProgram.idf

in the same folder as your *.bas file
