Create a cmd or bat file that:

  • adds the ruby\bin directory of IR to your path
  • moves into your Rails app’s base directory
  • runs the command: “mongrel_rails start”

Oh yeah… then add a shortcut to that cmd file to your start-up folder!

Is there a way to install this .bat as a service? or hide the console
window?

You could try to install and use Mongrel as a service. See:
