The ipython installer should have created an IPython shortcut for you which 
calls ipython into a terminal.  You can look at the properties for that 
shortcut to see what it does, it's basically:

/path/to/python.exe /path/to/python/scripts/ipython

I guess you can make a little alias to that and put it somewhere in your 
windows path.

I know very little about these kinds of details in windows, so perhaps someone 
else will correct me or provide a cleaner/easier solution.
