If you're on NT Server, you can install Mysql as a Service, which
will do exactly what you want. The instructions are in your
distribution, probably in the README.NT file or some such file
(sorry, I can't recall the exact instructions at the moment).
If you're on Win95/98, I don't think that's an option. Haven't used
either of those in a while, though.
