Hi!
All you have to do is follow instruction in README that is shipped
with every mysqlgui distro. For you here is the excerpt from the same
README in this text:
When you start it for the first time, click on ``Options'' button, fill up
all entries correctly and click on ``Save'' button. From then on, you will
logon automatically to the running server on every mysqlgui startup.
Take care to put the right value in ``Ask for password'' button. Also, if
you have problems with location of socket files on *nix, enter a full path
of the socket file in the ``SQL command on the start-up''. This input field
is used on Windoze if you wish to specify that named pipe option.
Regards,
Sinisa
