The start menu is part of Windows, specifically Windows98 - WindowsXP.
If you have Windows Vista it is the round circle thing in the bottom
left corner of the destop (on the taskbar) with the flying windows icon
on it. 

Assuming Vista. Click the circle icon on the bottom-left corner of the
screen. Look for "Programs" in the pop-up list and point to it. Look for
"OpenOffice.org 2.x" in the new flyout list and point the mouse at
that. In the new flyout menu pick "Writer".

That setup file is indeed the "setup.exe" i was talking about. Windows
has the option of turning the .exe extention off, so it is not visible.
If it reports that you can only modify files then you have sucessfully
installed. So my instructions above should work. By the way to prove i
am right regarding setup.exe, try this. Right click on "Setup" and
choose properties from the popup list. Somewhere in the dialogue box
that opens you should be able to find "setup.exe".

I respectfully recommend you look to getting some computer tuition, it
seems you have just enough knowledge to get yourself into trouble at
this stage :)
