How to get mysql automatically running when I start tomcat apache on Windows?

When starting my Tomcat Apache Server, I've been having to start up mysql before than using the mysqld command. I was wondering if there was a work around this so that I could have mysql start up when I run the startup.bat command for tomcat. Sorry, if this is an easy question. I have a very limited understanding of both databases and web servers so I wasn't able to find or understand any information I found on google.
