How to disable starting MySQL service on Windows7 startup? When I turn on my desktop (Windows 7 SP1), I often find 2 or 3 GB of memory is already occupied by MySQL processes. I don't care about how much memory a database requires, if it actually runs some queries, but I do, if it's an app I even don't start myself yet. For that matter, I barely use MySQL barring when I develop some web apps in my local environments. 



So is it possible to stop this gluttony? I tried to remove MySQL from my startup group viamsconfig, but couldn't find its name over there. 

Here is extra info.

mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.15, for Win64 (x86_64)
MySQL Server 5.6
MySQL Workbench 6.0
In Control panel open Administrative tools then double click Services.  Scroll down to MySQL and double click to open the properties.  Change the Startup type to Manual.
