Purpose for writing this program is that W9x doesn't have Shutdown group, so You can start MySQL server by putting appropriate line in Autoexec.bat or Stat UP group but server is not going to be properly shut down when You shutdown computer.

How to:
  General:
    1. Unzip anywhere on HDD.
    2. Modify DBView.ini file so that values reflect Your configuration.
    3. Put shortcut to w98stop.exe in startup group.
  Work:
    1. If program is running You'll see little yellow triangle in Systray.
    2. Left clicking triangle will show (or hide if it's allready visible) main form with two buttons, Ping and Shutdown. Pick Your choice or leftclick icon to hide program. You terminate program by right-clicking icon.

Essentially, program sits in tray and wait for QueryEndSession message from WIN9x. When it comes it shuts MySQL server properly. Main form looks ugly because I wanted to keep program small so I manualy coded everything.

This program is freeware so You don't have to pay for it (allthou I will not complain if I recieve any money). If You like them please mail me. Also if You would like to see some features added, mail me.
Have fun with MySQL.
