The pi has no way to get an IP address. Not unless you eitehr hard-coded
it into the config on the pi already or configured DHCP on your windows
machine. You'd have to configure a point-to-point connection on the pi
to hard-code in a static IP address.
I'm not sure it would show up in network places anyway unless you
installed samba. But if you figure out some way for the pi to get an IP
address, you should be able to use putty to access it.
