Andrew,

During installation did you choose to run it automatically when Windows
starts up (as a service or application)? If you're not sure, read
on...either way, we'll get it figured out.

You can easily add it to your startup applications.

I would check this page out for information on the GUI since you asked about
that as well (it will also cover your other question about starting the
server a bit more):
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/windows-server-first-start.html
(and/or:
http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/mysql-tutorial.htm#startclient )
For the command they list within the first page or so of this guide, you can
create a simple Desktop Shortcut to launch the program? You could also add
this to your Startup Group.

Did you choose to run it as a Service or as a standalone application? Go to:
START > RUN
Type in: services.msc
Look for MySQL
If you did install it as a service then it will be here. I would set it to
start up automatically or whatever you preference might be. Read more on
this here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/windows-start-service.html
(If need be)

I recommend WebYOG as a Windows GUI interface. Go to
http://www.webyog.comto download some of the tools and just read
before you download them. I
believe Lite is the free version. Get the tools that you believe you will
use and that apply to your situation and give them a try. I use them daily
and find them very helpful in multiple scenarios.

MySQL also provides some tools:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
Check out that page for further information and download links.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
