Is there any way to view automator process that are running?

About a year ago I created a workflow or something similar in Mac's Automator. When I took screenshots mac would place them on the desktop. I created a small script to take move those screenshots to a different folder. I want to change what folder those are saved in now. Problem is, I can't figure out how to edit my workflow. The biggest problem, I don't know where the workflow/file is stored. The process is always running so anytime I take a screenshot it is moved. Is there any way to view automator process that are running?

Also, I know there are other ways to make screenshots appear in different folders. I still want to find this process/script and kill it =)

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
