On Windows 7, the Microsoft Security Essentials quarantine location is :
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Quarantine\
On Windows 7, the Microsoft Security Essentials quarantine location is :
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Quarantine\
BUT the folder there only has a bunch of subfolder and files that are all encrypted and you can't open them via a text editor or even read any binary data.
So what you can do is to first recreate the original folder then you can restore it via the MSE app itself.
Use the command below if you want to fully recreate the folder and will recursively make the full path.
mkdir -p "D:\Folder\Folder2\Folder3\blah blah\"
