Not quite sure what you mean.  Python programs are saved into text files
which you can store anywhere you want. Save them to the location you
want them to be from your text editor.

If Idle is installed, a shortcut to it will be in your Windows start
menu, just like most programs that are installed.  It's been many years
since I last used windows, but there's usually a list of programs
installed, called "All Programs".

A shortcut to the python shell, or the shell itself running in a window?

Finally, it's most likely you'll find the best beginner help at the
python-tutor mailing list[1].
