When EndNote is installed, by default only the most 'popular' connection files are installed.
Connection Files can be available on two places:
1. Generic for all users the default (non editable location) is the installation folder and sub folder 'Connections' (e.g. for Windows: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\EndNote X9\Connections\' and for Mac: 'Applications/EndNote X9/Connections').
2. Customized ('Save as'), user specific files will be stored in the folder which is defined in the folder on Windows: 'Edit > Preferences > Folder Locations > Connections' and on Mac: 'EndNote> Preferences > Folder Locations > Connections'.
