Have a look at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_on_Microsoft_Windows
The url will be http://localhost:8080/alfresco/ once you have Alfresco up and running.

Good luck,

Glad to hear you are on the right track!

I don't mind if you send a private message, but if you want a quicker answer post it to the forum. That way anyone that has knowledge and some spare time can answer and other with similar issues read and learn.

But first do a search in the wiki and forums. Many of your questions may already been asked.
If you do not find an answer, try to be as specific as possible. What is it you are trying to do, what was the outocome?
What version of Alfresco, what OS are you running on, database etc. Are there any errors in the alfresco.log, post them if so.
