Installing R Windows 10

I've been trying to install R from CRAN on Windows 10 for a few days now. I download the execute file from CRAN (R-3.2.3) for 64 bit Windows and install. I cannot find the folder it created anywhere and none of the desktop icons appear. When I try to reinstall, it says R is already installed on the computer. I can't for the life of me figure out what is going on.

If you install R as a windows administrator then R defaults to installing into 

C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.1

(though you are given the chance to install into a different folder) , however if you install it as a standard Windows user it gets installed into ...

C:\Users\*your_user_name*\Documents\R\R-3.5.1

The default location is C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.3 (or C:\Program Files\Microsoft\MRO\R-3.2.3 for MS R Open) on Win 10 or it was on the install I just did :).

Failing that, check the registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core (there's both 32 and 64 install paths)
