I'm certainly not aware of how many places Windows might use a JET database within the OS, but I am aware that when you have a JET database in MS-Access you have to run JET-Comp.exe on it every once in a while or the database will get too large and slow down and/or corrupt.

So where might one find a list of these JET databases within the Windows OS, and how might one Compact them?

If you want to compact a mdb or accdb file, you have the following options:

As a final note, if you want to compact an Access database from a 64 bit process, or compact an accdb file, you need the office 2010 driver.
