   Hello!

   I have sucessfully installed wp on my computer through microsoft.

   When I installed it some weeks ago I came to the dashboard after the installation.
   Problem is I don't know how to get there again.
   I had bookmarked the following link, http://localhost:59884/wp-admin/post.php?post=2&action=edit thinking it might help me get back to the dashboard somehow or other, but no. it just show "webpage cannot be shown"

   Please help!

    Sorry, but I'm a Mac person, so no idea how your server and databases are set up. Can you just re-install?
