Hi Lance
I'm probably not the best person to help as I
don't have Windows 7, but here's a couple of things that might help.
First, LilyPond is correctly installed.
Running test.ly from within Program Files will not
work as you expect, as under Windows Program Files is protected.
Files created there by an application are saved within AppData under your user
ID, I believe.
I don't think the installation
procedure sets the Path variable to point to the executable. As
you're familiar with the command prompt you may be also familiar with setting
the Path variable. Try echo %PATH% to see if it includes the path to
...\LilyPond\usr\bin. Once this is set you can compile a file from
anywhere using the command prompt.
Finally, if you want to use LilyPond (rather than
just test it out briefly) you will find it much easier to use the Frescobaldi
editor, which is specifically tailored for LilyPond. You can find it here:

Good luck!
Trevor
