Still, a normal installation on Windows leaves an icon on the desktop. 
Also, if you
open a command prompt and run the command
lilypond-windows -dgui
then you should see the same thing as normally happens when you 
double-click on the
LilyPond icon, namely that the very primitive text editor "LilyPad" is 
opened with a
simple test example file.

No matter if you follow Tim's advice or use your existing solution, 
don't expect to be able
to do anything useful with the program until you have read the Tutorial 
(i actually recommend
you to click on the Documentation link for version 2.11 even if you have 
installed version 2.10
and click on the "Learning Manual" there, since it's been more or less 
completely rewritten and
improved compared to the documentation for version 2.10).
