I downloaded GHCi 8.0.1 for Windows. Since I don't have administrator
privileges I repeatedly clicked no when asked if I wanted to stop and
restart with elevated privileges. Eventually it installed (in a folder on
the desktop). The next step tells me to change some lines in the cabal
user-config file. I followed the instructions to find that file, but all I
got was an html file, which didn't seem right. I looked manually in
multiple directories, but nothing seemed like the right file. Would someone
help me find the file that needs to be changed.
Also, WinGHCi does not appear in my start menu. Should it appear there by
this point?
Thanks.

Searching for
cabal config windows
lead me to
https://wiki.haskell.org/Cabal-Install#The_cabal-install_configuration_file
which tells me that the config file is
%appdata%\cabal\config
That file should be created during installation, but you can create it
yourself if necessary.

That is not done automatically; you can do it by right clicking on
winghci.exe and selecting the proper option from the menu that appears.
