restart mysql server on windows 7

Question

How do I restart MySQL on Windows 7?

I\'m using HeidiSql as a front end and there\'s no option in there.

The only other things I have is the MySQL 5.5 comma

These suggestions so far only work if the mysql server is installed as a windows service.

If it is not installed as a service, you can start the server by using the Windows Start button ==> Run, then browse to the /bin folder under your mysql installation path and execute mysqld. Or just open a command window in the bin folder and type: mysqld
