Anything but .XCF gets "Unknow Filetype" error
#4
You should have a Gimp menu entry on installation and a Gimp desktop shortcut only if you used the customize option.

This in a Win7 VM screenshot just for reference. http://i.imgur.com/1ji60cu.jpg

Is this a brand new Gimp installation or replacing an existing Gimp? 

There have been similar reports, often cured by disabling the Gimp profile folder C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8  by renaming it ...\.gimp-2.8-bak maybe. Then restart Gimp so that it creates a new empty profile.

Gimp 2.8.22 is a lot better at searching for fonts these days but even so just let it do its thing until the opening splash completes.

Other than that, a video on installing, check it out and see if you differ anywhere,
