The command prompt is the command prompt for the Cygwin system which is like a mini-LINUX operating system running under Windows. LilyPond is just one of all the available programs in your Cygwin installation. However, if you read the instructions at http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html you will learn that you don't need the command window to run LilyPond, just double click on the input file.
I hope you have realized that LilyPond is a program that works very differently than most other programs you have experienced in Windows. For example, it's one of these programs where you cannot expect to do anything useful at all without reading the full tutorial.
