The Services section of the computer management mmc is the best
suggestion I can offer. You can get to it by right clicking on My
Computer and choosing Manage....


If you really want a shortcut, try this:

Click Start -> Run and type mmc. Hit Ok
When the Microsoft Management Console starts, click File -> Add/Remove
Snap-in....
Click Add at the bottom of the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog
Scroll down the list of snap-ins to near the bottom and choose Services
Click the Add button (you'll be asked if local or remote, choose local)
and then Close button
Click Ok on the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog
Click Services to see the list of services and then click on Apache
Tomcat to start/stop/restart tomcat
Save this to your desktop via File -> Save As... and name it something
that will make sense to you.
