Depends on how you started it.

If you started it by startup.bat, just use shutdown.bat which reside in the very same folder.

If it's started as Windows service (why have you by the way installed it as a Windows service if your intent is apparently to develop with it, not to run in production?), then you should restart the Windows service by service manager (start > run > services.msc).

If you are running tomcat as a service then you should go to control panel>service an dthen start/stop from there. Otherwise, there should be batch file called shutdown.bat in bin directory.

How did you start the tomcat btw?

Tomcat6w is a GUI application for monitoring and configuring Tomcat services.

Use it (it opens in the tasktray)
