The Services section of the computer management mmc is the best suggestion I can offer. You can get to it by right clicking on My Computer and choosing Manage....

If you really want a shortcut, try this:

Click Start -> Run and type mmc.  Hit Ok
When the Microsoft Management Console starts, click File -> Add/Remove Snap-in....
Click Add at the bottom of the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog
Scroll down the list of snap-ins to near the bottom and choose Services
Click the Add button (you'll be asked if local or remote, choose local) and then Close button
Click Ok on the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog
Click Services to see the list of services and then click on Apache Tomcat to start/stop/restart tomcat Save this to your desktop via File -> Save As... and name it something that will make sense to you.

Hi Mark,

You mean with that distro I avoid the use of windows services altogether ?
I was more looking for a shortcut that would act on the service (I suppose I 
need to ask in a windows forum for that).

I figured out that a windows Tomcat installation creates a tomcat service which is automatic.

However I'd prefer being able to start up the tomcat server when I do Tomacat and close it after, preferrably with a shortcut for each.

You can use the .zip distro.
