You can add the -pylab switch to the desktop shortcut under Windows. I had created a Windows IPython installer that automatically creates a second entry under Start > All Programs > IPython that includes the -pylab -p scipy option. You can download my installer from here: http://www.siue.edu/~rkrauss/ipython-0.7.3.svn.win32.exe but as the name implies it is 0.7.3 which is quite old. Ville said he was going to put this in the standard windows executable from now on.
