Start the Services Manager and see if it lists an entry for the "MySql"
service.  If so, tell the service to stop and close the window.
Then open a DOS window and issue this command:

C:\> mysqld --remove

That will remove the service.  Then it will run only when you invoke
it explicitly.


Alternatively, if the service is registered, you can change it to be
a "manual" service rather than an "automatic" service.  Then you use
the Services Manager to start it up as a service, but you have to do
so yourself. It won't start whenever Windows starts.
