There is a temp control on the front of my boiler, it has a little radiator symbol on it, I gather this sets the temp of the rads? I turned it all the way down, and now I have no hot water. Has this boiler been installed incorrectly?

Great post with so much to go on. Does the boiler have a white case?Did it come with instruction manual?
Turn it back up, your boiler is a heat only.
Turn heating off at the clock or thermostat.

Water temp is controlled by the thermostat on the tank.
Room temp should be controlled by a thermostat on the wall.
The thermostat on the boiler controls the temperature of the water being heated.

Oh so I can't control the rad water temp and the tap water temps individually? Should the water being heated be set at the same temp as the stat on the tank? I don't see why there are two controls for the same tank of water. Why not just have the one on the tank?
As suggested, return the temp on the boiler back to where it was.
Only controls you need to worry about are as suggested by Petit P but the only one you really want to adjust is the 'on the wall' thermostat temp, that controls the temperature in the house. Don't worry about the boiler water temp, it's irrelevant to your requirements. The HW cylinder, that holds your hot water, should be set between 60>70 Deg, so if it's thereabouts leave it alone.

The reason I ask is because I'm the kind of guy that likes to understand how things work, I find it somewhat entertaining. The reason I want to control these temps individually is because I want my radiators to be piping hot, but I don't want to burn my hands when I wash them.
well turn your boiler thermostat up full and leave the hot water thermostat where it is till you get your gas bill in then you will turn the boiler thermostat back down
