If you want Tomcat to start as a service in Windows 2k you can use this program by 
Davis Boyer called Tomcat Service Manager at 
http://web.bvu.edu/staff/david/index.jsp?section=software&subsection=tcservcfg&page=overview
 I use this for both Tomcat 4.1 and Tomcat 5. This utility also let you set the heap 
size also.

Hope this helps.

Hmm...not sure on Windows but on unix you set an environment variable 
called CATALINA_OPTS.  Set the Xmx and Xms parameters to the amount of 
memory you want to dedicate to the heap.  On our web server where we 
have 2GB ram I have:

CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms=750m  -Xmx=750m"

Tomcat then picks up this memory option when it fires up.
