The “Business Sets” folder I’m browsing contains six sets of branded business collateral for a total of 48 templates!

If you change the view to Filmstrip (from the View menu in Bridge) you can investigate each template page by page without having to actually open them. Double-click one of the folders or one of the Collections, and Bridge shows you thumbnails of the templates it contains. The InDesign Templates folder contains a bunch of Collections (saved Bridge searches) and further down, 21 subfolders with names like Menus, Presentations, Newsletters, and Forms.

You’ll need to re-open the InDesign Welcome screen (which you stopped from automatically appearing long ago) by choosing Welcome Screen from the Help menu, and when the splash screen appears click the New from Template button. The easiest way to find them and preview them is from within InDesign. See their descriptions and links on our Free InDesign Templates page. (Edit: We’ve secured permission from Adobe to offer them for downloading on our own site. On your hard drive, if you have InDesign CS2 (the only version that comes with templates).
