I have just downloaded Gimp on Windows 10, 64 bit, I then installed it. However, now I cannot find the link/button to start the program. There is nothing on my desktop or in the taskbar. I had even tried looking in the gimp folder on the C:\ drive, but to no avail. Nothing there which looks like it would execute the program. Please help.

Where did you get the Gimp installation file? Anywhere other than www.gimp.org is leaving yourself open to malware.
If you do not use the customize option when installing Gimp then you do not get a desktop shortcut, but you should get a menu entry.
Providing it is there, for a 64 bit installation look for: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe
see the attached screenshot

I got it at Gimp.org. I knew it was there, I just couldn't find it. Now with your very clear directions, I have found it. I wonder why they hide it? Anyway, I've copied it into the main Gimp menu, and set it on the taskbar. Thanks for your swift and precise instruction. I've had Gimp before but never learned how to get the most from it. I intend to do just that now. Again, thanks...
