Make yourself a simple batch script: amp.bat: @echo off start c:\path\to\apache\apache.exe c:\path\to\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --console echo Press ^C to stop stuff pause>NUL c:\path\to\apache\apache.exe -k stop
or something (I'm guessing on the mysqld option). The start command may be particularly of service here. Open up a command prompt, type in 'start /?' to see all it can do (start /wait can be a handy option...) The above batch script is totally untested and may need a fair amount of tweaking, but it just might do what you want. -Dash -----Original Message----- From: A. J.

Is it possible to configure mysql to load up automatically whenever apache is run (without having to load up winmysqladmin in the systray)?
