Problems with lilypond and MS XP

[idmarcy]

When I try to look at test.ly I get a list of warnings of things that can´t be found. I found a thread in the FAQ´s that says that this is because of spaces in the path. I threw everything out and put the stuff I had downloaded into a folder without spaces and tried again, but it insists on setting up a folder with my name and a space in the home folder. I´m afraid I don´t understand what to do about this problem.

Have you ever thought about doing a download page for computer illiterates? I´ve always been interested in Linux and open source programs, but I have no experience with computer other than Windows and Atari (thus revealing my age!) I think there are a lot of us out here and many probably just give up without you ever hearing about them. A page that explains the things that might seem strange to Windows users might be helpful. I´d be happy to write the text for a page like that if I ever understand how this works.
