Hi Charlie, Don't worry, all questions are OK. :-)
Instead of trying to double-click mysql.exe, open your Command Prompt and, assuming the mysql\bin directory isn't in your PATH, navigate to to mysql\bin directory and run mysql from there or specify the full path. e.g. C:\>cd \mysql\bin C:\mysql\bin>mysql -OR- C:\>C:\mysql\bin\mysql (Sorry if you already know how to do that. ;-)) And then when mysql quits, the window won't close but will stay there and you can see what the error message is. Tell us what that error is. Hope that helps.

Im sitting here using a self teach book to try to guide my way through it. Anyways, the book is discussing adding users and setting priveledges. Now the book is vague on how to do so, but I believe I use the bin/mysql.exe file (Im on windows obviously). Problem is when I go to it, all it does and open and close real fast. Am I doing something wrong?
