This save places you seconds before you choose your race, saving you 5 precious minutes you could be using to kill dragons. No cheats or anything else stupid, just a save. Pray to the Night Mother for the construction kit to come out soon so somebody can make a mod to skip the intro completely!
On Windows 7 place the saved game in C:\Users\[Your User Name]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves
I don't have Windows XP so I don't know where it is located, although it will be somewhere under C:\Documents and Settings\[Your User Name]
The comments have spoken! The game will autosave for you at the same point, which I was not aware of, but the autosave will be overwritten if you don't manually back it up.
