I think the WinMySQLAdmin program automatically installs MySQL as a service
the first time it is started up. Since this is a natural thing to do after
running the install script, one tends to get the service without realising
it. The same tool will allow you to uninstall the service and (I think)
start it manually once installed. There are many other ways of achieving
the same effect, some of which Paul has already explained.
