When you run the setup program, you should select the option 
"Install from Internet". If you already did that and the 
installation was successful, you will still have these files
on your desktop but you will also have an icon named Lilypond
and/or Cygwin. The instructions on www.lilypond.org were updated
some days ago, just go there, click on the Windows link and 
scroll down to see how to verify that the installation was
successful. 

If you just did "Download from Internet" and have a slow modem 
connection, you don't have to download it all again, just rerun
the setup program and select "Install from Local Directory".
