When you open the control panel, there are very many options. Primarily, there is a list of the tools you have: Apache, MySql, FileZilla, Mercury, and Tomcat. For each item on that list there are 2 buttons and a checkbox. Click the checkbox corresponding to the item if you want it to be a "service" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_service). To get up and running, first click the Start button next to Apache, and if it then says "Running" highlighted in green, you can press the Admin button next to it to bring up a welcome screen. From there you can explore many options.


Hope this helps
