Look in Tomcat's bin directory; if you have startup.bat and shutdown.bat scripts, use those.  If you don't have them, download the .zip package of Tomcat, expand it, and copy all the bin/*.bat files into your existing bin directory.  (The .exe package omits the scripts, for inexplicable reasons.)

Once that's done, open up a command prompt window, set JAVA_HOME to your JDK location (or JRE_HOME to your JRE), set CATALINA_OPTS to whatever JVM command-line parameters you need, and run startup.bat.  Note that none of your config settings from tomcat5w.exe are used automatically; you have to supply them via CATALINA_OPTS, including heap sizes.  The Tomcat process will start in a separate window.  Use shutdown.bat from the original commmand prompt window to terminate it.
