Ok - here is what you do...

1. to check if mySQL is running locally - you need to run a system 
snapshot ( CreateToolhel32Snapshot ), check the processes for 
the appropriate exe's name. You will have to include the Th32.lib 
and Thelp32.h or similar to use this function.

2. To start mySQL - create a new process, keep track of it.
3. To stop mySQL - kill the process!

I have just implemented this in C++ for the next version of the 
Calistra ODBC mySQL Administrator.
