The first time I run winmysqladmin, it creates a my.ini file for me in the windows directory. It prompts for a username and password, recommended for first time users, it says.
What does the "user=" and "password=" fields in the my.ini file do? They don't seem related to the "mysql" command line tool.
They allow winmysqladmin to connect to the server as a client.
They're in the section like this:
[WinMySQLadmin]
Server=C:/mysql/bin/mysqld-max-nt.exe
User=root
Password=xxxxxx
